Re: Building a strat1/2 time server

Dear list readers -



Sorry to cause some additional noise on the list, but I am looking for
help in building a strat1 or 2 time server. I have a Fedora Core 6
server running with the latest NTP server installed. What I am trying to
do actually is build an authoritative or reference time server that we
can use here for testing daylight saving time adjustments in our
environment. After thinking about it, I have come to the sane conclusion
that this wont work with a normal ntp server as it will constantly want
to FIX the time back and my ntpclients wont pull time if the server is
out of whack. So I need to build an ntp server that doesn't go out and
sync with an outside source, that my clients can use in this test
environment. So, my question is, just how do you build one?



Any insights and additional information would be greatly appreciated.

===================================

The only way that I know of to get this kind of a time source, is to actually have a strat1 or 2 time source in your location. We had this discussion here at the office a while back, since we ahve a strat2 cesium clock to sync all our SONET rings. Even then, if you don't have people actually syncing from the strat2 directly, and only have the ntp server syncing it, it will still technically be only a strat3 time source.

HTH.
