I've just started using NTP revision 3.4.1.9, patchlevel 13, from UUNET on our Sun 4 (OS 4.1) systems and have what appears to be a bit of a problem. Here is the output from an ntpdc request made of one of our Sun systems running ntp: % ntpdc mozart (rem) Address (lcl) Strat Poll Reach Delay Offset Disp ========================================================================== +ravel 192.5.98.5 2 64 377 20.0 425.0 3529.0 +asihub 192.5.98.5 2 64 377 20.0 402.0 3506.0 *handel 192.5.98.5 2 64 377 20.0 376.0 3504.0 Here is the output from an ntpdc request made of one of our MIPS systems running ntp: % ntpdc cedar (rem) Address (lcl) Strat Poll Reach Delay Offset Disp ========================================================================== +ravel 192.5.98.41 2 128 377 20.0 -19.0 9.0 +asihub 192.5.98.41 2 256 377 20.0 -40.0 7.0 *handel 192.5.98.41 2 64 377 20.0 -67.0 7.0 The three servers listed are all ULTRIX systems, some VAX's, some RISC. What concerns me is that the 'Offset' and 'Disp' values for the Sun system seem to be quite high. I've reviewed the numbers of a period of days and these numbers are always much higher on the Sun systems than on the MIPS or DEC systems. The values of 'Disp' will vary from 500 to 31995 and the offset from 400 to 1000. Anyone have any idea why this might be happening? The Sun systems are all Sparc 1+'s running OS 4.1, the DEC's are running UWS 4.0, the MIPS are running 4.51. The sun systems have no peer entries, just three server entries.
