try these: server 0.us.pool.ntp.org iburst server 1.us.pool.ntp.org iburst server 2.us.pool.ntp.org iburst server 3.us.pool.ntp.org iburst I use the US pool to narrow down the choices, instead of having ntp assign a random server from a larger group. Also make sure that /etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd is set executable. Or you can just /usr/sbin/ntpd -qg /sbin/hwclock -w as I do on my desktop. On my server, ntpd is running with the pool server above. Thus, "ntpq -pn" lists the some statics. The script '/etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd' takes care of setting stuff up and updating the hardwareclok at boot. You set time with ntpd (see man ntpd). As for ntpdate, this utility does not use /etc/ntp.conf, thus you need to provide a pool server: ntpdate -q 0.us.pool.ntp.org server 209.118.204.201, stratum 2, offset 0.003762, delay 0.05539 server 173.255.194.200, stratum 2, offset 0.001448, delay 0.08682 server 4.53.160.75, stratum 2, offset 0.002014, delay 0.08545 server 38.229.71.1, stratum 2, offset 0.005418, delay 0.10133 17 Jan 15:58:57 ntpdate[28888]: adjust time server 209.118.204.201 offset 0.003762 sec Please note that ntpdate is DEPRECATED; use ntpd instead. http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Dev/DeprecatingNtpdate _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
