NTP Services - not keeping sync

[Gremlin]

I have my TOS 5.1.103 system set up to keep time with another local TNAS acting as time server. {This time server is keeping time ok with 'time windows.com'.} However, when using the local time server, time drifts (say) +5 minutes over a few days. A manual update will reset the time ok, so the server appears to be working.

Question 1: how often should the time service update?
Question 2: why is there no option to set the update frequency?

At present, there is no option to set the update frequency.
The NTP protocol itself has a built-in mechanism for automatic synchronization of time.
For the problems you encounter, if you use a local time server, time may drift within a few days,
which may be caused by network environment, server load, or other factors. You can check from these aspects.

In other words, there is no point in using TNAS as a local time server if you require any degree of accuracy. Thank you.
