Hello Aleksandar, Thanks for your quick reply. As you say, there isn't much advantage of running SNTP vs. NTP. And, probably, one could "simulate" SNTP by ntpd configuration regarding accurary. Is this right? However, unlike NTP, SNTP uses connectionless UDP, and this may be the whole point. Does a NTP server consider the provision of time synchronization service to a SNTP client? Or a SNTP client needs a SNTP server? Many thanks. Best regards. On 12/7/06, Aleksandar Milivojevic <alex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Hmmm... As far as I know, there is no dedicated SNTP client. Anyhow, what's wrong with configuring ntpd to be just a client? The configuration file is couple of lines (very simple). Or you could just fire off system-config-time and let it create configuration file for you (I'd suggest enabling "use local time source" under advanced options). I simply fail to see any advantage of running SNTP vs. full NTP implementation. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
