I have set up xntpd for test purposes on a Sun 4/60. In a month or so we will be moving it to a SPARC 2 to provide a NTP server for our domain. xntpd seems to be working just great. However, 1) I start up ntpq (it defaults to localhost), type peer, and get the list of peers from xntpd. However, they are missing the "*", "+", "." symbols in the left margin. Is this right? These symbols appear when I query other servers. 2) When I type "association", I see: ind assID status conf reach auth condition last_event cnt =========================================================== 1 61116 9014 yes yes none insane reachable 1 2 61117 9014 yes yes none insane reachable 1 3 61118 9036 yes yes none insane stratum chg 3 What is an "insane" condition? What other conditions are there, and what condition should I be seeing there? 3) If NTP_MINPOLL is 64 and NTP_MAXPOLL is 1024, will the polling interval of xntpd try to stay at the minimum, or will the interval increase over a period of time (so to speak)? Thanks for any insights. -- Russell Mosemann Internet: mosemann@crcvms.unl.edu Network Analyst Bitnet: mosemann@unlvax1 Computing Resource Center UUCP: ..!uunet!hoss.unl.edu!mosemann University of Nebraska - Lincoln Voice: (402) 472-5930 Fax: 472-5280
