 |

I recently installed the "Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon".
It configured itself to use server
--does anyone recognize this IP-address? Is this an IP-address
in the cable-modem itself? (The sparse doc that came with the
modem does not mention this IP-address. And `nslookup' does not
resolve it to a name.)

Ah... thank you. But now I'm confused on a Higher Level. My
entire /etc/ntp.conf is
| Code: | restrict default noquery notrust nomodify
restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 3
server 127.127.1.0
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
logfile /var/log/ntp.log |
Yet when I intentionally mis-set the software clock (SC), then
transfer the error to the hardware clock
nonetheless, a
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/ntp-client restart |
fixes the SC. Where is `ntp' getting its time from?
[edit]The information is in /etc/conf.d/ntp-client. It
has the lines
| Code: | NTPCLIENT_CMD="ntpdate"
...
# Options to pass to the above command ...
NTPCLIENT_OPTS=" -b -u pool.ntp.org"
|
OMSystem.[/edit]
