Hi,
I am having some issues in configuring ntp client on a power pc 405
processor based device which runs Linux .
It doesn't have RTC support. We had set up an NTP server in the
network. The ntp client was configured with a single entry in the
/etc/ntp.conf
server <server_ip address>
The client was not able to perform time synchronization with the server.
We were able to perform a time sync with the same server from a
windows XP machine and another Linux machine.
The experiment was tried after setting the timet to a value which was
within 1 minute of the time in the NTP server.
Still the client was not able to synchronize with the server.
/etc/ntp.conf on server
------------------------
server <server_ip address>
fudge <server_ip address> stratum 1
server 127.127.1.0
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
broadcastdelay 0.008
logfile /var/log/ntp.log
Please suggest whether we need to modify the configuration.
Thanks in advance
Resmi
server <server_ip address>
server 127.127.1.0 # Serve the local clock if no other
source is available!
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 # Make sure that no one will use this if
a better (lower
# stratum) server is
available.
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
broadcastdelay 0.008
logfile /var/log/ntp.log
Your server's stratum will be calculated automatically as soon as it
synchronizes with its
server. If it is not synchronized it should operate at a high stratum;
e.g. 10 so that no one
will use it if any lower stratum server is available. (If your server
is not synchronized it almost certainly does not have the correct time!)
