Hello all,
I would like to synchronize several computers to a NTP server in a LAN
not connected to the internet. My NTP server uses its own
clock and the NTP clients do not known server's IP. Therefore I need
to use broadcast or multicast synchronization.
In the server machine, I run xntpd daemon using the following /etc/ntp.conf file:
server 127.127.1.0 # local
clock
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
broadcast 224.0.1.1
authenticate no
disable auth
In every client machine, xntpd is running with following /etc/ntp.conf file:
driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
multicastclient 224.0.1.1 # listen on default
224.0.1.1
authenticate no
disable auth
When I try to start xntpd into client machine I get the following:
Jul 26 13:13:51 roman xntpd[1892]: bind() fd 9, family 2, port 123,
addr e0000101, in_classd=1 flags=0 fails: Address already in use
Jul 26 13:13:51 roman xntpd[1892]: ...multicast address 224.0.1.1
using wildcard socket
And when I run the ntpq I get the following:
ntpq> peer
No association ID's returned
I have a Mandrake installation.
And then the problem is that the computers clients don't synchronize
with the computer server.
Best regards. Thanks.
