ntpd does not seem to be doing it's job. i have Ver. 4.2.6p5 installed on 6.1.5 and after 51 days of uptime, the system clock is 5 minutes behind and the offset just keeps increasing. ntpdate seems to work fine when the system boots, but ntpd just isn't maintaining the time after boot.
here is my ntpd.conf: http://pastebin.com/EbxzPBw7 i noticed /var/db/ntp.drift doesn't exist which sounds important to keep the time maintained.... # ntpq -p remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== +Maggie.Telcom.A 132.163.4.102 2 u 6 64 377 0.455 297275. 19.763 # i used to have "restrict ntp.arizona.edu nomodify notrap" after the server line at the end of the conf file but it sounds like those settings prevent ntpd from working, so i removed it. but after restarting ntpd, the offset reported by ntpq just keeps increasing
