NTP always enabled ?

[Rootax]

Hello,

In the time settings, I have ntp disabled, and it's configured manually.  But, in system.log, I've got a looooot of this :

Aug 09 15:20:51 ReadyNAS_PRO4 connmand[1962]: ntp: time slew -0.016244 s
Aug 09 15:25:08 ReadyNAS_PRO4 connmand[1962]: ntp: time slew -0.016072 s
Aug 09 15:29:24 ReadyNAS_PRO4 connmand[1962]: ntp: time slew -0.016122 s
Aug 09 15:33:40 ReadyNAS_PRO4 connmand[1962]: ntp: time slew -0.016147 s
Aug 09 15:37:55 ReadyNAS_PRO4 connmand[1962]: ntp: time slew -0.016040 s
Aug 09 15:42:12 ReadyNAS_PRO4 connmand[1962]: ntp: time slew -0.016049 s

Like it's always synching or something ? Is there a way to totally disabling the ntp service ?

Thx you.

Even if you are not syncing the time with a time server the NAS still needs to keep track of time.

Which firmware are you running?

After disabling the time server syncing have you rebooted the NAS?

Ah yes, sorry, I'm under 6.3.5. I know it's not supported on the Pro 4.

I've rebooted after disabling the ntp, and yes these messages are still happening. Honestly, I was searching an other thing in the system.log, and I found this "by accident". It's not a real problem, but I don't think it's normal either.

EDIT : Moreover, there is no ntp or ntpdate service showing if I do "service --status-all" right now...

Ok, so this is the normal behavior ? If it is, I'll mark the subject as resolved.
