I would start with ntpq -p you should get a liting of the servers thntp knows about and some status info for each In all the [x]ntp installations I have worked with there are some messages written to /var/log/messages. you should at least see when the deamon was started if it was. ntp will also not start up if the time os to far out of sync. you might try ntpdate nameofavalidtimeserver you cannont run it if ntp is running. there should be extensive docs for each of the commands in /usr/share/doc/ntp* if you installed from rpm Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
