xntpd/clock/adjtimex questions
I have tried to make sense of the documents and man pages for these
commands, but still am alittle confused.
I have run xntpd for about 6 hours, and have checked the ntp.drift file
and the tick & frequency values that come from adjtimex --compare.
There seems to be no correlation between these numbers. I thought that
ntp.drift was the 'drift' of the system clock from real time, in parts per
million. 1ppm = .0864 seconds/day
Which numbers do i use to set my system clock, The value of ntp.drift or
the tick & frequency?
How should the first value of /etc/adjtime be calculated?
No machines in my network will have a permanent connection, and only 1 of
them will have part time(2 hours/day) connectivity.
Or am i looking at this all wrong and the /etc/adjtime file is for
correcting the rtc?
I would like as accurate a time server that I can get, within the limits
of my network.
Insights, comments, or instructions will be greatly appreciated.
