I just posted this same question about a week ago actually. I went through and checked the order of servers in my ntp.conf and found that the first server on the list was down quite often, so I rearranged my list of servers. This has cut down on the number of synchronization lost messages I've been getting, but has not eliminated them altogether. (I now get 4 - 5 per day, I was getting 30 - 60 a day before.) Unfortunately, I don't have any sort of a cure-all for the problem. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.
