- So, I'm running xntp for NTPv2 on about 15 Sparcstation 1's.
- I've got 3 other Suns (a 3/280, a 3/260 and 4/280) sending
- out broadcast NTP packets. Yeah, I know Sun clocks suck, but
- SS1's are the best of the lot, right? Well, anyway, about
- 1/3 of the SS1's sync up to one or the other of the Sun-3's;
- the remaining 2/3 won't sync to anything. The sync'ed
- SS1's get their offsets down to less than one millisecond
- from their chosen host, and dispersions on these machines are
- near zero. On the unsync'ed SS1's, dispersions are anywhere
- from 64 to 1.5 or so. What can be causing this? And any
- ideas on how I might fix it so that all SS1's sync up
- to one of the broadcasting hosts?
