Re: ntpd does not work
hi sebastiaan
the ntp.conf file is different for your local ntp server
vs clients syncing to your local ntp server
kill ntp daemon than kill all the pending ntp jobs..
and restart it and see where the problem is
maybe the reason for the failures is in the /var/log/ntpstats or
/var/log/*
for testing... i'd turn on logfileiny our /etc/ntp.conf
ntp wont sync if its more than a few minutes off
- each client need to first run "ntpdate -s ntp.chello.nl"
you'd want to have more than one ntp server... and probably add a peer ntp
server
maybe your ipchains is blocking ntp traffic ??
what does ntptrace/ntpdate show for any error messages ??
ntptrace -dv ntp ( checks /etc/ntp.conf )
ntpdate < -v | -q > ntp.your.com
have fun
