Negative Positive
Title: Disappointed in content
Review: This is not /really/ a book on how to impliment NTP. Over half the book is devoted to the history of NTP. There's even one chapter on the science of time, the history of the gregorian calendar and other trivial information. There's even a poem thrown in there for good measure.Chapter five has a big commercial for Symmetricom's NTP appliance.I was looking for was a exhaustive guide for implimenting *ntpd. I wanted to know how to understand the output of all the different commands on the ntpd console. I wanted to know how to troubleshoot the clock skew on my Dell servers running Linux and ntpd.Instead, I got a book with pages devoted to "The Networking Aspects of the Trojan War" ... ???
