Nothing in the log snippet provided shows an issue. What leads you to believe an issue has been encountered?
Hi Quanah,
Thanks for the reply,
I can't tell whether it was an issue or not (for example, I could call it a phenomenon), but I found it strange to have this repeating for weeks every three minutes and always on that single entry (among thousands).
I am trying to figure out what does the log snippet mean. I would guess it means that the particular entry at the master DIT is found to be older than the one at the slave?
If so, I wonder how this may have happened! Maybe due to a DIT change that took place at some point in time when the master clock was a bit slower than the slave? (Although both are running ntp service.)
And - in any case - what would be the recommended way to stop this from occurring constantly?
My poor man's action would be to do some modification on the entry (at the master). It might not be an elegant, or even suggested solution, but it would force a resync of the entry at the slave, updating times. In the end I tried this and and I have since stopped seeing this message showing in the log.
Thanks! Nick
