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]
I don't see anything in my syslog
take a look in /var/log/ntp.log
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

[\CODE]
looks ok to me
Running ntpq -c reports the following:

Again looks ok
I don't run my ubuntu system regularly but 15 minutes after power on
I get:

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.
