Using Garmin GPS-III+ as Time source

	Isolated Network Drift Problem
	Our NTP servers are slowly loosing time. All are in nearly perfect sync but collectively drift backwards over time. Is there a way to apply a bias to the drift calculations?

ntp or other time stuff on virtual server?

A question has come up on another newgroup whethr or not the time can be disciplined via ntp (or chrony) on a virtual server. I would suspect not (imagine the mess if both ntp on one virtual server and chrony on another were both trying to discipline the same hardware clock, and I cannot see how the virtual OS could keep track of its own separate clock since it only... more » By Unruh  - 17 Nov - 4 new of 4 messages
