Hi,
I am trying to synchronize the time of my VM server with ntpd. I have the
following configuration.
And in the /etc/ntp.conf, I have the following line:
restrict default ignore
restrict 127.0.0.1.
server time1.server
server time2.server
Whenever I have this line, the erver is not able to synchronize its time... So
far as I understood, this line prevents other servers using this machine as a
time server. And the second line says to allow localhost to use as time server.
But why do I need to use its own time server when I have specified to use
time1.server and time2.server ? ( firewall for tcp and udp ports 123 is open)
However, when I replace the first line of the configuration with the following
line, it works..
restrict default kod nomodify notrap noquery
But with this, i am allowing other servers to use this server a ntp (which I
wouldn't like to).
Why this machine tries to use ntp server of its own (to snyc time) and why it
is not working though i have the entry "restrict 127.0.0.1" ??
Your comments will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
