Ah, thanks! I didn't see it in the WinBox list, because it says
"SNTP", and I was looking for something beginning with "N" ... <br>
<br>
I notice it starts off with a polling interval of 32 seconds, which
as I understand the NTP protocol (I'm not sure about the SNTP
protocol), is violation of the standard (you start at 64 seconds),
but it rapidly moves to 64 seconds and beyond (as it should).<br>
<br>
I ran a stratum 2 server for a decade, and finally dropped it due to
massive abuse: I had abandon the domain I used (see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ultimeth.com/Abandon.html">http://www.ultimeth.com/Abandon.html</a> ), due to an idiot who
hard-coded in his free software (distributed widely, see the link),
to access my NTP server hostname with a polling rate under a minute.<br>
<br>
Yes, v6.10, not v6.01. I'm a mathematician, what can I say?<br>
<br>
I see how to do logging ...<br>

<div>As for the software versions, 6.1 is fairly old at this
point, did you mean 6.10? As for the firmware, generally
whatever the latest is, is fine. It doesn't make much difference
as far as the features are concerned.</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> FYI: I of course
followed the instructions to upgrade the OS to v6.1 before I
did anything. However, when I clicked on "RouterBoard" in
WinBox, I found that I was running firmware (which is of
course "different") v3.02, and v3.12 was available. I did
the upgrade (no separate download needed), with no
observable effects.<br>
<br>
<b>I sure wish</b> this thing had a decent scheme to get the
date/time from somewhere. Even a reboot (required by the
firmware upgrade), resets the clock. I may try my hand at a
script, but without setting the clock on each boot, the log
timestamps are completely useless. Not to mention that the
log appears to be cleared on each boot. Ugh. I think
there's a way to send the log transactions to a server, and
that will be useful ...<br>

Gotta go, be back this evening ...<br>
