Have you tried the iburst parameter in /etc/ntp.conf: server 0.fedora.pool.ntp.org iburst
This should trigger an immediate check, and means that you don't need ntpdate. -----Original Message----- From: zhangxiliang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 February 2007 08:37 To: rhelv5-beta-list@redhat.com Subject: [rhelv5-beta-list] (no subject) When i start the ntp service successful on server, the client must ntpdate with the server after waiting a moment. The moment may be 3~5 minutes, or it may be 10~15 minutes. I don't know why it happens?
