oh, and the answer your question:I have installed ntp server on my debian box. I am trying to sync with a public external time server. I have found a couple on the internet - but none seem to want to sync with me or my ntp daemon does not want to do it. I have entered the following in my /etc/ntp.conf file: server 0.us.pool.ntp.org server 1.us.pool.ntp.org server 2.us.pool.ntp.org server 3.us.pool.ntp.org I ran ntpdate and I get this error message - 18 Jan 12:43:23 ntpdate[26430]: no servers can be used, exiting do not know how to fix it - any ideas ?? thanks myhost:~# ntpdate 18 Jan 17:35:01 ntpdate[1400]: no servers can be used, exiting myhost:~# ntpdate 0.us.pool.ntp.org 18 Jan 17:35:14 ntpdate[1401]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting the ntpdate is required an argument. ntpdate <server> see in man ntpdate |
