Thanks for that. Here is what I am getting:
r...@pbx:~ $ service ntpd stop Shutting down ntpd: [ OK ] r...@pbx:~ $ ntpdate pool.ntp.org 2 Jun 17:47:20 ntpdate[4349]: step time server 209.167.68.100 offset 70370.4485 33 sec r...@pbx:~ $ service ntpd start Starting ntpd: [ OK ] r...@pbx:~ $ clock Tue 01 Jun 2010 10:14:38 PM EDT -0.000768 seconds Offset by 70370 really!!!! and then back to June 1st again?!

From: rafael.carne...@gmail.com To: het...@hotmail.com Bruce, You need to stop ntp and then try the ntpdate (ntpdate won't run if ntpd is running), and if that goes well you can then start ntp again.

You kind of appreciate Nortel at times... r...@pbx:/sbin $ service ntpd restart Shutting down ntpd: [ OK ] Starting ntpd: [ OK ] r...@pbx:/sbin $ clock Tue 01 Jun 2010 09:55:49 PM EDT -0.000717 seconds Seems it didn't do the trick either. I am guessing something in the configs is wrong even though I didn't change anything. -Bruce > Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 17:18:35 -0400 > From: aggib...@cogeco.ca > To: het...@hotmail.com > CC: asterisk@uc.org > Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] What could do an automatic Date and Time change on > CentOS? > > Just a footnote, > > ntpd will not update the time if the offset is more than 1000 seconds. > e.g. the clock is more than 15 minutes off. > > You have to stop ntpd, run ntpdate, restart ntpd. > > regards, > > Drew > > > > Bruce N wrote: > > Thanks for the input both to Lloyd and Rafael, > > > > > > > > This is not a VPs and it's real Quad Core server. > > > > > > > > I just did a "service ntpd statud" and it shows running.
