Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii -------- Hi, I'm using xntpd (for no good reason), have setup my ntp servers in /etc/ntp.conf, have ran ntpq to find that xntpd is working great. However, the local clock isn't being set, according to reftime in ntpq | rv. I'm unsure if the offset being roughly 2881775 is a problem, but I know that's a lot (probably about 8*60*60*10, since I'm at GMT+8, yep).
I'm also not sure what to do about the timezone issue. My /etc/init.d/boot is set to UTC ( GMT="-u" ), and I have a TZ assignment in my .bashrc which corrects the clock in X-windows ( TZ="UTC" ; export TZ ). /sbin/clock -r gives the correct time, so I think that all I need to do is to learn how to set the local clock, so I can automate the procedure. I see a note: "ntpdate will decline to set the date if an NTP server daemon (e.g., xntpd) is running on the same host." (/usr/doc/xntp3/html/ntpdate.html) That could be a problem.. :-) Should I be using ntpd (vs. xntpd), or .. ??
