It now shows up on every 'show clock'. Any similar results on any other Cisco shop ?
According to IOS docs: The system clock keeps an "authoritative" flag that indicates whether the time is authoritative (believed to be accurate). If the system clock has been set by a timing source (system calendar, NTP, VINES, and so forth), the flag is set. If the time is not authoritative, it will be used only for display purposes. Until the clock is authoritative and the "authoritative" flag is set, the flag prevents peers from synchronizing to the clock when the peers' time is invalid. The symbol that precedes the show clock display indicates the following: Symbol Description * Time is not authoritative. Time is authoritative. . Time is authoritative, but NTP is not synchronized -axel
