The polling is dynamic. If you want to set up a longer or a predictable interval, set up ntpdate(8) triggered by cron. Note that when you boot, ntpdate runs shortly after the network is fired up to set the initial time.
Since there seems to be no man page on ntpdate, I googled & found a bit of documentation ...but the command line switches seem to not be recognized by my version. Guess I'll just 'stand pat' for now. Thanks. :-)

Yes there is. It is contained in the xntp-doc package. Install it and goto /usr/share/doc/packages/xntp-doc/html/ntpdate.html -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
