Running a Time Sync Daemon to avoid NFS delays (Duo v.1.)?
I'm running 3 machines as well as a ReadyNAS Duo v.1, with the following systems: Linux (dual boots Win 7), PC-BSD & Mac OS/X 10.6.8. Due to a delay in the bootup of a new Linux install, I've come...

Well I think that WhoCares? NTP-server add-on is working fine on my Duo v.1.
I've only set up a Manjaro Linux (based on Arch) box to use it thus far, following is the output from the recently booted Manjaro using this alias in ~/.bashrc :
Note: I've edited the output above, as it exceeded the character number limitations placed on the length of lines by this forum software, hopefully it doesn't turn into an illegible mess when viewed with different screen resolution/font sizes.
I dual boot Linux/Win7, which has been a pain in the neck, as the registry tweeks to get Win7 to use UTC, don't work on my machine. I don't have any need for the Win7 box to talk to the Duo, BUT, every time I do boot into Win7, it messes up the RTC time, due to its not knowing how to handle daylight saving, which was of course carried through to the prime system on that machine - Linux or PC-BSD.
At last I found an excellent solution:- I've installed NTP on Win7, following this superb how-to:

I expect that someone is going to be happy to have found that solution.
[edit:] I almost forgot <doh!> the prime reason for my running down this local NTP-server path was to see if having the Duo & my Linux box's time in sync would get around the ~60 second delay the Linux box is having during boot. It has no effect, on that problem (for me) I'm sorry to say.
