I use clockspeed. This package is written by the guy who wrote qmail. Here's a little blurb and the link http://cr.yp.to/clockspeed/clockspeed-0.62.tar.gz
"clockspeed uses a hardware tick counter to compensate for a persistently fast or slow system clock. Given a few time measurements from a reliable source, it computes and then eliminates the clock skew. sntpclock checks another system's NTP clock, and prints the results in a format suitable for input to clockspeed. sntpclock is the simplest available NTP/SNTP client. taiclock and taiclockd form an even simpler alternative to SNTP. They are suitable for precise time synchronization over a local area network, without the hassles and potential security problems of an NTP server." - Joe On Saturday 01 December 2001 14:06, you wrote: > I had this working many moons ago, but with new upgrades/installs, it's all > been lost and I can't remember what I did (but I know it's not that hard -- > that's why it's driving me crazy). > > So here's what I've got going on: > > - ntp installed on all of my machines > - ntp configured on fileserver to sync to external time server (doesn't > stay synced, however). > - ntp configured on remaining nodes to sync with fileserver who is supposed > to allow that > > But what's happening is that the ntp on the fileserver will start up, sync > with the external time server, but down the line, the time begins to drift > and according to my syslog, there were never any more attempts to keep time > synced (ntp-4.1.0-1mdk installed on every one of them). > > And on the local clients, in my /etc/ntp.conf, I've got 10.1.1.3 (the IP > for the fileserver) set for the server.
