At a customer there are two Linux servers which should get the time from another time server.
I've configured the ntp client with yast. Today I saw, that one of the servers had correct time, whereas the other was about 3 seconds apart. I called then nptdate <server>, but the time was only corrected by a fraction of a second. I called ntpdate at the other server: A very small correction. Then 7 minutes later: A call of ntpdate at the second server makes a correction of 2.7 s to the correct time! How can it be? But that's not all: Several calls of ntpdate at the first server made several corrections in the same direction (most about -0.15 s), so that the difference between the servers became 3 seconds again. Later a call to ntpdate corrected the time perfectly (about +3 seconds). What's wrong here? Ping times to the time servers are about 1.5 ms.
