Hi Folks,
I've got a FreeBSD - NTP time server configured on my small LAN. Here's
some output:
ntpq> pe
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset

offset=-23.313, frequency=-432.127, jitter=165.282, stability=110.396
How does one tell if this server is broadcasting properly?
How often does it broadcast?
Is there a way to control how often it broadcasts?
Also, the '*' and '+' tend to disappear and reappear. Is this
possibly due to network congestion?
Thanks for your assistance!
