ntpd cannot fix that. chrony could, just. But it indicates some severe problem. Is this a virtual server running on some other hardware? Nothing can help then, except getting the server to get its time from the underlying system, not its own clock. You could install adjtimex and use it to set the tick to cancel out most of that , but I suspect it is not consistant either. > I've been checking it since I manually updated the time and after 2 hours it > is 2 minutes and 1 second behind. > > ntpq -p produces the following: > remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter >============================================================================== > 131.107.13.100 .ACTS. 1 u 858 1024 374 4.431 62588.8 21305.0 > *LOCAL(0) .LOCL. 10 l 16 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.001 > > My ntp.conf file is all defaults except for the time server entry on line 13. Nothing ntpd can do, sorry. The rate is far too far off. fix that problem first. ( and if this is a virtual server, stop looking to ntp for a fix) ... _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
