I'm just setting up xntpd for the first time. I believe I have the server
piece running and syncing to the various time servers. However, I have some
questions that I've not yet been able to find the answers to:
1) Now that I have one machine on my LAN syncing to an outside source, how
do I configure the other Linux boxen to sync to the local time server rather
than the ones on Internet ?
2) Suppose you have several LANs that you would like to sync time on to
some standard (not necessarily each other). Wouldn't it be better to have
one of the LANs as a 'master' NTP server (which updates to some stratum 2
server) and have the remainder of the LANs sync to that server ?
3) From a previous message posted to the list, I understand that by using
"NET TIME /SET /Y \\linuxboxen" (on WinBoxen) this will set the time to the
'master' NTP server on the LAN. When I try this on Win95, I get:
C:\WINDOWS>net time /set /y \\192.168.1.2
Error 53: The computer name specified in the network path cannot be
located.
Make sure you are specifying the computer name correctly, or try again
later
when the remote computer is available.
So, the question here is, does Samba have to be running for this to work ?
Is there a way to do this without using Samba ?
Thanks for any help. I've searched the list extensively and haven't yet
been able to come up with these answers.
Mike
