It's not like it really matters. I only look at it when I need to check how old a thread is.

i like to post with fancy times like 01:23:45 which here is impossible  ;D

besides you often feel like "htf is his bid earlier as mine, it wasnt there a sec ago" but its just lag

I fixed it. The default Gentoo NTP configuration file is wrong. It says:
Code:
# If you want to deny all machines (including your own)
# from accessing the NTP server, uncomment:
#restrict default ignore
But this actually breaks ntpd...

Thx!

just wondered... posted, and time was right... tought...
"a server admin who actually reacts immediately to a feedback?? i must be dreaming"

:D simply great



hm, i dont know how Gentoo handles that, but on my Debian and OpenWRT,
ntpd was always the server and not needed for own time synchronisation
only to pass sync to other machines in the network so only one need Internet
