- Hello,
-
- Please excuse this 2nd call for help, but due to an ill-timed network
- problem (resolved 7 days later) immediately following the first posting, I
- did not receive any responses (then again maybe no one sent any).
- Anyway, here is the original posting with an additional, and hopefully more
- reliable address:
-
- I have recently installed Xntpd (ntp version 2) on 5 workstations
- (DecStation 5000s) in an isolated lab (no source of UTC). One of
- the workstations has been configured as a stratum 1 time server and
- the remaining workstations as clients/peers.
-
- I would like to know how closely the clocks are synchronized which
- leads to the following two questions:
-
-
- 1. I suspect "ntpq" and "xntpdc" may be used to validate
- the synchronization but have no documentation on how
- these utilities obtain their data or how to
- interpret the information they provide.
-
- Is there documentation out there for ntpq and/ or xntpdc ?
-
-
-
- 2. Who out there is using Xntpd? What kind of precision do you
- see(i.e. delays between clocks) and how did you measure it?
-

-
- Thanks,
- Eric
