Status 2001 means that phase-locked-loop operation has been enabled, 6001 means frequency-locked-loop has been enabled. As I understand it, ntpd switches to FLL mode, if it dedects large phase or frequency errors (there is a much better description in src/contrib/ntp/ntpd/ntp_loopfilter.c) The Status codes are listed in timex.h. There is also an easier way than searching timex.h :) > ntpdc -c kerninfo | grep status status: 6001 pll nano mode=fll > ntpdc -c kerninfo matrix020 | grep status status: 2001 pll nano Cheers, ch - -- Christian Hiris <4711@chello.at> | OpenPGP KeyID 0x3BCA53BE OpenPGP-Key at hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net and http://pgp.mit.edu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBVMX/09WjGjvKU74RAnLJAJwIkFCW5ZrNQVyQgD5XDO3CxInXPACfcIHh J7loalf6HlsU7k2dQVYt4Wg= =b2nW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
