I don't need my clock updated every 7-8 minutes, and am wondering if there is a way to change that? I have been unable to find anything in the docs, & the man page is nothing.
Somewhere in the documentation it explains how it works. At first, it requests the time very often, and then, as the clock get synchronized, the interval increases. I understand it is hardcoded.
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.
