mentioned or if you're really worried, start it from a script, that pings your time server and then starts up ntp when successful.
So once started does ntpd keep syncing now and then?
Yes. As I understand it, it calculates the optimal interval for syncing. The whole point of ntp is to maintain sync over the long term.
Yes, and if you search around out there, you'll find a whole book on how to fine-tune these settings to your every wants needs and desires. I personally fire it up about once a week on the laptop by clicking an icon which simply runs su /etc/init.d/ntp start and then closes. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part
