Yes, I have my gateway machine setup as a stratum 3 time server and all
machines on my network synchronize against this. I did just notice that
ntpd had stopped on my mythbox for some reason; but I don't think that's
the problem since it was only off by about 30 seconds. Either way, time
is all in sync correctly again so I guess I'll see if that made any
difference.
OH, and I don't have any separation between machines within mythtv
itself; the database, mythbackend, and mythfrontend all run on the same
machine. It's just the data storage directory that I have setup as a
remote disk mount.
Thanks,
Kelly
