I've got a number of machines and don't want to flood public timeservers with requests (even Stratum 2 servers). I'd rather sync just ONE machine and sync all my other machines to it. Checking /etc/defaults/rc.conf and "man timed", I've found out a little about timed. My question is this: Are timed and ntpd compatible? Can I use ntpd (which I know how to use and like) to sync to a machine running timed? If not, can I run a NTP server? (maybe there's a port I don't know about) A quick look through the man pages makes me think that this will not work, that timed and ntpd are different beasts. Any thoughts? Thanks!! -- Michael A.
