Does ntpd have the ability to control when the daemon skews time ?
Issue
- Does ntpd have the ability to control when the daemon skews time vs resetting the clock?
- I have a business requirement covering time sync for trading systems which will change around June 30, 2015 from 1 second to 50ms.
- Ideally I want to configure ntpd to skew time until it hits a defined threshold like 48ms from the source.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
