Right now I get a star for darkstar.sanet and after a ten minutes I also got a plus sign in front of ns01.deu.edu.tr What does the plus mean?
An asterisk * in the first column marks the reference time source which is currently preferred by the NTP daemon, the + character marks high quality candidates for the reference time which could be used if the currently selected reference time source should become unavailable.
By the way, forgot to mention, the above was cribbed from http://networking.ringofsaturn.com/Protocols/ntp.php which is a pretty good reference for this stuff. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
