Hi everybody!
Over the weekend we activated ntp for our entire server farm. A central HP-UX server syncs to de.pool.ntp.org, all other systems sync to this central host. All linux based systems sync well, except gentoo based. /etc/init.d/ntp-client works well, but synchronisation with ntpd seems not to work. nptd crashes when ntpq -p is issued. No valueable info in /var/log/messages.
Any Ideas? Any suggestion is welcome!!
Thanx!
ntpd exits quite quietly if the difference between the peer and the local time are too great.
I also think the default log file specified in /etc/ntpd.conf is /var/log/ntpd.log, not messages.
The message when that happens looks something like this:
11 Feb 17:49:40 ntpd[11432]: frequency initialized -33.396 PPM from /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
11 Feb 17:53:17 ntpd[11432]: synchronized to 192.168.1.72, stratum 1
11 Feb 17:53:17 ntpd[11432]: time correction of -3601 seconds exceeds sanity limit (1000); set clock manually to the correct UTC time.
Could this be your problem?
try /usr/sbin/ntpdate -4su ntpserver
