How long does AIX resync the time with another server

Hi,

I have NTP configured:
vi /etc/ntp.conf
broadcastclient
server 128.127.1.3
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
tracefile /etc/ntp.trace

# xntpdc
xntpdc> sysinfo
system peer: 128.127.1.3
system peer mode: client
leap indicator: 00
stratum: 12
precision: -18
root distance: 0.00053 s
root dispersion: 0.02397 s
reference ID: [128.127.1.3]
reference time: cc2ee2da.b847e000 Mon, Jul 21 2008 18:26:34.719
system flags: bclient pll monitor stats
frequency: 0.000 ppm
stability: 23.831 ppm
broadcastdelay: 0.003906 s
authdelay: 0.000122 s
xntpdc> quit
#

My question is how long does the AIX repeat to synchronize the time with the timeserver 128.127.1.3?

Can anyone please help?

Thanks!!
Victor Cheung

ntp.keys(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual						       ntp.keys(4)

NAME
ntp.keys - Network Time Protocol (NTP) authentication key file DESCRIPTION
The NTP standard specifies an extension to allow verification of the authenticity of received NTP packets and to provide an indication of authenticity in outgoing packets. This is implemented in xntpd using the MD5 algorithm to compute the message-digest. The specification allows any one of possibly 4 billion keys, numbered with 32-bit key identifiers, to be used to authenticate an association. The servers involved in an association must agree on the key and key identifier used to authenticate their data, though they must each learn the key and key identifier independently. In MD5, the keys are 64 bits (8 bytes). The xntpd daemon reads its keys from a file specified using the -k command line option, or the keys statement in the configuration file. While key number 0 is fixed by the NTP standard (as 56 zero bits) and may not be changed, one or more of the keys numbered 1 through 15 may be arbitrarily set in the keys file. One of the keys may be chosen, by way of the configuration file requestkey statement, to authenticate run time configuration requests made using the xntpdc(8) program. The latter program obtains the key from the terminal as a password, so it is generally appropriate to specify the key chosen to be used for this purpose in ASCII format. The NTP key file uses the same comment conventions as the configuration file. Key entries use a fixed format of the form: keyno type key In this format: Is a positive integer. Is a single character that defines the format the key is given in. This is always M, representing Message Digest (MD5) on Tru64 UNIX systems. Is the key itself. The MD5 algorithm key is a 1-to-8 character ASCII string. Because of the simple tokenizing routine, you cannot use the following characters in an ASCII key: " " (space), "#" (number sign), "", "0, and " ". Note that both the keys and the authentication scheme (MD5) must be identical between a set of peers sharing the same key number. EXAMPLES
The following sample key file shows two defined NTP keys: 2 M RIrop8KPPvQvYotM # MD5 key as a random ASCII string 14 M sundial # MD5 key as an ASCII string FILES
