Why is it considered 'bad form'? Is it because stratum two servers use stratum 1 or something along those lines? ~ Matthew -----Original Message----- From: Rob B [mailto:rbyrnes@ozemail.com.au] Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2002 7:48 PM To: MET Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Setting the Time || Public Time Servers At 13:11 15/08/2002 -0400, MET sent this up the stick: >Where would I get a list of ntpd servers so that I can run > > ntpdate_enable="YES" > ntpdate_flags="-b -t10 -u ntp1.example.com ntp2.example.com" > >Or > > xntpd_enable="YES" > xntpd_flags="-g -p /var/run/ntpd.pid" ntpdate only sets the system clock at boot, xntpd keeps checking to correct for drift. Make sure you ONLY sync against stratum 2 servers, it's poor form to sync against a stratum 1 server.
