But on 2 machines, messages gives me: Aug 20 23:35:06 ns2 xntpd[299]: xntpd version=3.4e (beta multicast); Tue Dec 28 21:19:34 GMT 1999 (1) Aug 20 23:35:06 ns2 xntpd[299]: tickadj = 5, tick = 10000, tvu_maxslew = 495 Aug 20 23:35:06 ns2 xntpd[299]: using xntpd phase-lock loop Aug 20 23:39:56 ns2 xntpd[299]: time error -3962.233950 is way too large (set clock manually) .. but the log line timestamp of these two is essentially already "on the money", as are the 4 machines that run xntpd just fine. On these two machines, the ntpd won't unloads (can't see it "ps aux | grep ntp").
