Hello, I've got a server that likes to loose 30 to 60 seconds each week. I'm trying to get ntpd working but haven't had much success.
I tried uncommenting the server line in /etc/ntp.conf and changing the URL to ntp2.cmc.ec.gc.ca before running ntpd from the command line and it doesn't do much. I've now tried a very simple /etc/ntp.conf file: server ntp2.cmc.ec.gc.ca As suggested by the ntp website and that doesn't work. (I wait a few mintues, checking system time using 'date' and ntp activity with ntpstat) However, if I run either ntpdate ntp2.cmc.ec.gc.ca or ntpd -qd The date is updated to the correct time. Should ntpd -q be run as a cron job? Seems a little strange for a daemon to run as a cron job. Anyone have experience with ntpd? Eric. _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
