June 23, 201412 yr Is there anyone using a plugin or package to setup a local ntp srrver ? I found this which looks basic enough that I can install it, but I wonder if it's a no-brainier for a plugin developer http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:network_services:ntp

June 23, 201412 yr Would have saved me some time setting up entware & ntpd on my router for my rasp pi's.
June 23, 201412 yr Depending on the router the chip responsible for keeping time may drift a lot in between updates. Sent from a mobile device, sorry for any typos.
June 23, 201412 yr I forgot about that. I'll have to monitor and see. It's a linksys E3000 I was in a hurry to get the pi's to sync time on boot since xbmc couldn't get a guide from 1969. I swear I tried to sync with unraid but maybe didn't have ntp configed right.

What has the router got to do with it. unRAID syncs to whatever is configured (typically pool.ntp.org) and unRAID can then act as your local NTP server. The local time offset is configured in unRAID's settings for unRAID's own use, but each querying device will receive unadjusted time. Some routers can do act as NTP servers as well, but I prefer to have unRAID do the job. (Note that a few routers may block NTP requests from going to the outside world and may then provide their own NTP time. In that case the router's time keeping does become significant.)
June 23, 201412 yr The router has to do with me wasting my time setting it up instead of unraid . I have all NTP requests blocked and handled by the router. I now know unraid will do it if I need.
