Has anyone come across clear, concise instructions for synchronizing my clock to a network time server? I need instructions that will work for a system that connects to the internet using dial-up (i.e. is often NOT connected). It is never connected to the internet at startup, and is restarted frequently.
I assume ntp will do this for me if I configure it correctly, and I would prefer to use ntp because I have virtual machines that I would like to synchronize to the host machine. I'm having a hard time hacking through the thicket of ntp documentation -- it seems to be written for a someone who has a doctorate level interest in the absolute limits of network time sync accuracy (even the "executive overview" includes some equations!). There are a huge number of configuration options for this package. Some example ntp.conf files would be nice. I would also appreciate debugging/logging hints, and even an idea of how to tell if my setup is working. (ntp 4.1.1-1 on RedHat 7.3) Chrony also sounded promising, but it doesn't compile on 7.3: >gcc -Wmissing-prototypes -Wall -O2 -g -DLINUX -DHAS_SPINLOCK_H -c wrap_adjtimex.c >In file included from /usr/include/linux/timex.h:152, > from wrap_adjtimex.c:40: >/usr/include/asm/timex.h:10:21: asm/msr.h: No such file or directory Thanks, -- Mark Polhamus -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
