Hi all,
I've written a test script to test all the symmetric and autokey
authentication key types and algorithms. The scripts waits for a delay
time after restarting ntpd and then runs the "ntpq -c as" command to see
if '*' has appeared beside the server name.The problem is that the
synchronization time varies from about 20 seconds to more than 15
minutes,
even when using -burst and -iburst options for a private ntp server!
What are the minimum, average and maximum synchronization times?
Is there a faster way to verify synchronization?
Thanks
Joe
Joe,
I would verify sync with "ntpq -p".
On my systems, I would expect to see a "*" almost immediately after
starting NTP, and if I didn't see it within (say) 20 seconds I would
investigate. However, I'm not using any authentication. I hope that
helps.
Cheers,
David
