Blake: Just to make sure I've got this down, listing a device as a "peer" in the ntp.conf file will create a situation where both devices are saying, "I know what time it is" and splitting the difference? Whereas when you list a device as a "server", it's using that as the authority on the correct time? Example: -- # peer 192.168.1.1 iburst peer 192.168.1.2 iburst # server ntp.colby.edu minpoll 6 maxpoll 10 iburst server bonehed.lcs.mit.edu minpoll 6 maxpoll 10 iburst On 2/17/2014 10:28 AM, Blake Dunlap wrote:
Peer means it considers the other side an equal and they will mutually skew time together. If you have peer on for devices you don't consider your time servers, you're opening yourself up to problems.
