When reading the docs for ntp, the stability of the clock should drop to about 0.1 ppm after some time. There even is a kernel variable counting the time that the stability is less then 25 ppm. However, when I look at my system, running xntpd the way it has been setup in rc, I get the following: (the system is up for 12 days) xntpdc> sysinfo system peer: ntp0.NL.net system peer mode: client leap indicator: 00 stratum: 2 precision: -18 root distance: 0.06630 s root dispersion: 0.05202 s reference ID: [193.78.241.12] reference time: b584e376.989e4000 Wed, Jul 3 1996 14:17:58.596 system flags: pll monitor stats frequency: 0.000 ppm stability: 78.071 ppm broadcastdelay: 0.003906 s authdelay: 0.000122 s Question: what is wromng? I thought I did not have to manually use tickadj... -Guido
