Hello,
The change I made to the initscript ntp file does not seem very elegant! But I was not sure of a better way too complete the same results.
echo -e "server ${NTP_ADDR_1} prefer\nserver ${NTP_ADDR_2}" > /etc/ntp/ntpInclude.conf
Is this OK or does it belong in a different section of code. It needs to be updated when the NTP Servers are changed or when the time.cgi (Time Server) page is updated.
-and-
Is chrony going to replace NTP? If so, then the change below is not needed.
Please don't hurt me!
Jon

- Device time more accurate. (e.g., +/- 10 seconds per day to < 100 ms on some devices) ( I know we don't need the perfect time server )
- NTP and time will be accurate in manual mode (setting on Time Server > NTP Configuration WebGUI)
- Change NTP "prefer" server:
- The current preferred NTP server in an Undisciplined Local Clock.
- This is intended when no outside source of synchronized time is available.
- Change the "prefer" server from 127.127.1.0 to the Primary NTP server specified on the Time Server > NTP Configuration WebGUI page.
- Change allows the drift file (located at /etc/ntp/drift) to be populated by ntpd.
- The drift file is updated about once per hour which helps correct the device time.
