OXE with NTP keeps going backwards on time

[tincho.rn]

Hi Cav. About the NTP, it seems that OXE don't want to synchronize with a Windows Serves using local clock to synchronize itself. I make the following configuration and it is working fine:

OXE <--> Absolute NTP Server / Client <--> NTP Windows 2003 Server (this one synchronize locally).

I didn't test yet with NTP Windows synchronize with an outside source.

Do you have the URL of that software? Is it linux or Windows?

what stratum is your clock source - i know it shouldnt matter
i have setup ntp via linux in the past and it has had no affect of the system

Stratum is 16...should be lower but how to make it lower...

Hi,

just tried to log in as root and make "ntpq".
Tried to "writevar 7 stratum=15" - System asked for MD5 password. Tried to set it first with "passwd -> [PWD]".
But even after setting this password "writevar 7 stratum=15" isnt working. It asked me for MD5 Passwort, I typed the passwd I just made with "passwd" but even this is working.
By the way its OXE 7.1 Patch 33.

Any Crack in here who can brake Mandrake Linux....?
