what is the results of starting ntpd on your machines? NTP writes a
fair amount of stuff to /var/log/messages.
I use ntpq a lot to see what servers my machines are using.
after starting ntp run
ntpq
then type pe
you should get a list of servers and some information about them from a
local machine standpoint.
the doc is very good but buried in htmlfiles under /usr/share/doc/ntp*
For the longest I thought the lack of man or info pages meant that there
was none and then on day I learned (from this list I believe) about rpm
-qd packagename to see the list of doc files included with the package
:)
Boy was I suprised.
btw here is the entries I use to sync to my local server.
server 192.168.0.4 # gateway mtp server
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
here is the entries In my local time server:
as you can see I have done a fair mount of exprimenting with stable
servers.
