Good morning all,
About 10 days ago we had a lightning strike very nearby that fried our
electric utilities transformer and my APC RS800 UPS. This in turn caused
my system to crash. When I brought it back up, all CMOS settings had been
lost. After setting what I could remember (no, I didn't have them written
down), I brought Gentoo back up. Massive complaints about the time being
off (I had forgotten to set the hardware clock).
# /etc/init.d/ntpd stop
followed by
# ntpdate pool.ntp.org
set the system time correctly. So I
#/etc/init.d/ntpd start
Since then, ntpd does not work.
According to ps, ntpd is running
//garbanzo/etc # ps aux|grep ntp
root 19874 0.0 0.3 3656 3656 ? SLs 09:05 0:00
/usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid
But all that shows in the /var/log/ntp.log is
12 Jun 09:05:46 ntpd[19515]: ntpd exiting on signal 15
I've also noticed that the software clock is running about 2 minutes fast
per hour. I know I could setup a cron job to run ntpdate regularly, but
that is the wrong solution. ntpd had been working fine for years.
Does anyone have any possible ideas what could have happened here?
Thanks,
festus
