NTP has nothing whatsoever to do with Informix, it just keeps the system clock synchronized and Informix (as far as I know) takes its time stamps from the operating system. No, never ever had one problem with NTP and Informix on Solaris boxes (30 of 'em) or Linux boxes (5 of those), all synced with NTP. Everything works -- if you let it.

The only time problem I have ever heard of is that ER does not work if clock are more than 15 minutes apart. NTP should avoid that!
