Schwertfeger" X-Sender: ejs@harlie To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: ntp syncronization Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I currently don't have access to the ntp newsgroup, can't find the mailing list, beat on it until I had a headache, so finally decided to bug someone here. I'm trying to syncronize a subnet of machines using ntp. I've got one FreeBSD machine that runs stable if we loose our internet connection, and I'd like to set it up so that its internal clock is considered a stratum 13 clock source, because while having the correct time is important, having everyone agree on the time is more important, and if we loose our connection, everthing falls back to stratum 16, so they won't syncronize with each other then.
