- I'm interrested in finding out just how good/bad the system clocks in
- SUN, DEC and HP's really are. I'm trying to find out the most optimal
- frequency, with the least amount of bombardment to my stratum 2 servers,
- with which to run ntpdate out of crontab.
-
- On average, do the system clocks, in the above mentioned hardware, drift
- more than a half a second an hour? More than a half a second every 2 hours?
- Every 3 hours? So on? Just how bad are these clock in these computers?

- Thanks,
