Yes I am using it with NTP. How does ntp know to issue that command?

127.127.30.0 one) and ntp.oncore.0 - do I need more? When does ntp issue
this startup command - at startup or whenever it cannot see time data?
Reg - I am using some very old configurations which you posted on a
forum - are there more recent examples?
