I've got two suites. Both suites have servers with a ntp.conf and step-tickers file. Both suites are running fine with respect to time. One suite of servers has empty step-ticker files, the other one has content in the files.
Do I need both files? Should the files be populated? Should the two file types agree? I need a quick tutorial of the two file types and how they work together. Or, please point me to a web site with the information I need.
My thanks to whoever can assist.
