However, my log file shows the following entries: Nov 7 02:36:58 blacksheep ntpd[372]: time reset -0.166610 s Nov 7 02:36:58 blacksheep ntpd[372]: synchronisation lost Nov 7 08:01:35 blacksheep ntpd[372]: time reset -0.154462 s Nov 7 08:01:35 blacksheep ntpd[372]: synchronisation lost Nov 7 09:48:32 blacksheep ntpd[372]: time reset -0.167576 s Nov 7 09:48:32 blacksheep ntpd[372]: synchronisation lost What does the "synchronisation lost" message mean and why do I get it? Is it something to be concerned about? Thanks, Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
