I started using NTP on this computer at version 4.2.4p4
"modena". p4, p5 and both p6 versions run okay. I am running p6
"vegas-v2" at the moment because neither p7 nor p8 will run.

Sounds like either NTP is not running with sufficient rights,
or w32time did not get disabled.

Unable to run Meinberg versions "copenhagen" or "lennon"

2009-12-09T20:36:33Z

I tried to install and run "lennon" today. It didn't work so I
did a restore and then found that I had been running "vegas".
(I'd forgotten that "copenhagen" wouldn't run.)

Thanks for that, Dave. Those binaries are running apparently correctly on
the five PCs where I've loaded them - Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP and
Windows-7 with GPS/PPS, Windows XP and Windows Vista with LAN sync.
Cheers,

Re: Win2k3 Server as NTP server?

2009-12-09T16:15:36Z

We are running ntpd on a Win 2003 server without problems. However, that is
a standalone server and not a member of an Active Directory domain.
Except what I've written earlier regarding potential problems in an AD
domain, an additional problem can be the limited resolution of the Windows
system time (i.e. about 16 ms timer ticks).

Thanks to Robin and Dmitri for finding and reporting the problem!

One last release candidate (in name only) and a new -stable

2009-12-09T13:27:54Z

There was a hiccup or two along the way, but in essence we have a new -
stable release, 4.2.6, and will soon see the first 4.2.7 -dev
release. If you look at the distribution points right now, there is a
ntp-4.2.6-RC.tar.gz. I expect within a day there will also be a
ntp-4.2.6.tar.gz, differing only in the version's -RC suffix (which is

Originate Timestamp returned as zero

2009-12-08T20:23:32Z

Under what circumstances might an originate timestamp be returned as zero
from an NTP4 server? Is it something wrong I put in the outgoing packet?
Thanks,

Re: Which Linux kernels have PPS support

2009-12-08T17:48:39Z

Hi,
Yes and no. PPS core is in but you still need a patch for the serial
support. Rather than using the oldest kernel with PPS, why not use the
newest (2.6.32) with this patch.

Which Linux kernels have PPS support

2009-12-08T12:33:45Z

Hi there
I read that kernel PPS support is now part of vanilla kernels (no patch
required). Since when? Which is the oldest kernel with PPS support?

Re: CHU gadget box files

Some folks like to tinker with (and I have myself done so) a PPS
source from one refclock, and a serial stream from a second refclock
under development, as this lets you get a handle on latency etc. This
is how I measured the audio driver latency and jitter using different
tweaks. I think this is a fine cross check.
