SNTPCLN4.NLM

When loading SNTPCLN4 on my NetWare 4.10 server I receive a
message to that SET TIMESYNC HARDWARE CLOCK is set to ON and I
should set it to OFF or SNTPCLN4 may not work. I understand this
parameter but I have the following question ...

I have five NW4.10 servers and one server is configured as a SINGLE
time source and the remaining four servers are configured as
SECONDARY. My goal was to load SNTPCLN4 on the SINGLE time
source server and the remaining four would get their time from this
server. By turning SET TIMESYNC HARDWARE CLOCK to OFF, my
SINGLE time source server should get its time from the designated NTP
source rather the hardware clock, and then the SECONDARY time
source servers would receive their time from the SINGLE time source
server.

Is this plan OK? Should I have any concerns about setting TIMESYNC
HARDWARE CLOCK to OFF on my SINGLE time source server?

Thank you for any input.
