Re: Trouble getting local ntp server working



just make sure xntp3 is running, you can test it by telnetting to port 37
on the ntp server, it'll spit out some garbage and drop you thats
normal. then setup a cron entry i suppose to synch the time every 12 hours
or something.. my ntp server is rarely more then 0.001 seconds off from
the servers i synch with.
