Cool! It works! 8-) But there's a little problem, when I changed my ntp.conf, I have to wait for several minutes until it works well, if not, I got: 192.168.90.41: Server dropped: strata too high I googled a bit, and someone said this is due to the time of the server is far from correct, but it is not. See below: # /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org 28 Aug 14:23:38 ntpdate[18923]: adjust time server 194.117.9.136 offset -0.174164 sec # LC_ALL=en_US-UTF8 date Thu Aug 28 14:23:42 WEST 2008 At the same time, I ran this on the server: > date Thu Aug 28 14:23:47 BST 2008 Now: # /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u 192.168.90.41 28 Aug 14:24:02 ntpdate[18942]: no server suitable for synchronization found So the time on the server was nearly correct.

Yes, because we want: 1. Configure the time of the server manually, no matter how wrong it is. :) So in this situation, we don't want synchronization, but still need to provide the time service to other PCs. 2. Synchronize the time from other servers and provide service. This is very easy and works well.
