3. taková zajímavost (možná už je to opraveno):
VCSA nekomunikuje se zadaným ntp, ale s jeho reverzem(PTR). Takže pozor jak skutečně vypadá PTR záznam pro NTP server (nám ho nechal provider po nějakém předchozím zákazníkovi, kterýmu bohužel běžel na adrese kam doputoval dotaz NTP server a to je pak duchařina, než člověk přijde nato co se děje)
Command> ntpq -p
