Hi, I'm tired so please forgive me if I just copy and paste the post I made on the Ubuntu Forums. It's comprehensive so I'd only be repeating myself anyway.
===BEGIN COPY AND PASTE=== NTPD 4.2.6.p2 on Ubuntu 11.10 Kernel 3.0.0-13-server. Connection to the web is up and functioning fine. UFW (firewall) is enabled but not blocking outgoing connections. ntp.conf is as follows (only non- default settings are shown): [CODE] ## The named entries are all Stratum Two servers taken from here: ## http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/StratumTwoTimeServers ## The pool entries are all taken from here: ## http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/uk server ntp.cis.strath.ac.uk iburst #Glasgow server 0.uk.pool.ntp.org #UK Pool Entry 1 server ntp2b.mcc.ac.uk #Manchester server 1.uk.pool.ntp.org #UK Pool Entry 2 server 2.uk.pool.ntp.org #UK Pool Entry 3 [\CODE] No matter how long I wait, I never receive a message of the following type in my syslog: [CODE] hostname ntpd[xxxx]: synchronized to x.x.x.x, stratum 2 [\CODE] According to the walkthrough I'm following (http://ubuntuforums.org/ showthread.php?t=862620), this indicates I'm not properly synchronized. Despite waiting several hours,all syslog actually reports is this: [CODE] ntpd[16006]: ntpd [email protected] Fri Sep 2 18:42:25 UTC 2011 (1) ntpd[16007]: proto: precision = 1.257 usec ntpd[16007]: ntp_io: estimated max descriptors: 1024, initial socket boundary: 16 ntpd[16007]: Listen and drop on 0 v4wildcard 0.0.0.0 UDP 123 ntpd[16007]: Listen and drop on 1 v6wildcard :: UDP 123 ntpd[16007]: Listen normally on 2 lo 127.0.0.1 UDP 123 ntpd[16007]: Listen normally on 3 eth0 <ipv4 address> UDP 123 ntpd[16007]: Listen normally on 4 eth0 <ipv6 address> UDP 123 ntpd[16007]: Listen normally on 5 lo ::1 UDP 123 [\CODE] Running ntpq -c reports the following: [CODE] remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== *ntp1.cis.strath 193.62.22.74 2 u 65 128 377 33.158 0.273 28.907 +fifi.v4.colo.m. 194.100.2.198 2 u 54 128 377 15.933 -6.764 27.869 +dir.mcc.ac.uk 194.66.31.14 2 u 111 128 377 28.767 6.354 32.016 +scarlett.lon.re 216.218.192.202 2 u 116 128 377 28.055 0.359 55.242 +resntp-a-vip.lo 77.75.105.169 3 u 113 128 377 20.382 -0.889 24.030 +europium.canoni 193.79.237.14 2 u 116 128 377 23.073 0.024 15.896 [\CODE] The IRC channel is dead so no help there. The Ubuntu forums have garnered no useful responses. I can't find any other info on this topic. Can someone help me out here? Ultimate aim is a local stratum 3 ntpd server for my network. Thanks. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
