Perhaps this isn't off topic afterall, but I'm running ntpd on my
directors. By directors I mean one is the primary and one is the slave
waiting in the background for the primary to die so it can takeover.
I have ntpd 4.0.98d (debian potato) installed and after a couple hours
of it starting up, it reports to syslog:
Apr 25 16:51:26 load3 ntpd[599]: time reset 0.176641 s
Apr 25 16:51:26 load3 ntpd[599]: synchronisation lost
Is this just an alert letting me know that the machine managed to drift
rather far off and it has gone ahead and synced it. Or does that mean it
has drifted so far off that it can no longer correct the problem and I'm
screwed and need to restart ntpd manually or reboot or some other none
automated event needs to take place. Or does it mean I have don't have
enough servers (or too many) in my ntp.conf file?
Any response would be great!
