Planning to put a ntp -v [localserver] call in an alias - more as a "what is the REAL time" sort of thing than any practical purpose. Our local ntp server is pretty heavily loaded, as it's the mail and news gate for all of *.bu.edu as well. My question is how much load does a ntp -v call place on a server? Am I forcing a resync, or does it just spit a packet back at me? Thanks- Bruce Howells, beh@bass.bu.edu
