You want lines like these in /etc/ntp.conf: server 127.127.1.1 # Local clock fudge 127.127.1.1 stratum 8 The "fudge" line increases the stratum of the local clock, so that xntpd will prefer "real" authoritative clocks, if you have one available. I don't know that the local clock is the CMOS clock; it is more likely the clock maintained by the OS. -- Matthew Hunt <mph@pobox.com> * Think locally, act globally. http://mph124.rh.psu.edu/~mph/pgp.key for PGP public key 0x67203349.
