I made the changes you suggested and when I do an ntpq -p I get the following: remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== time.nist.gov .ACTS. 1 u 43 64 1 43.295 4812.14 0.002 ns.arc.nasa.gov 198.123.30.132 2 u 47 64 1 22.387 4812.17 0.002 tick.usno.navy. .USNO. 1 u 46 64 1 272.895 4894.98 0.002 LOCAL(0) LOCAL(0) 10 l 45 64 1 0.000 0.000 0.002 This is more than I got before. The time now seems to be within 3-4 seconds of my other servers. When I do ntpstat though I get the following: unsynchronised time server re-starting polling server every 16 s So I seem to be very close. Mike
