Hi Paul, Looks like it is working. I got the following output from ntpstat: synchronised to local net at stratum 11 time correct to within 12 ms polling server every 64 s Thanks for the advice on ntpdate. I've added that info to /etc/ntp/step-tickers. I really appreciate your taking the time to help me here. Thanks! Mike
