Actally that seems to be one of the problems.. . I just found it in the syslog. ntpd -g should take care of this but it doesn't. The time was intentally set to 1999 to test ntpd and see if it is working. Even with the "-g" option I am getting:
Jan 1 01:38:38 portal ntpd[841]: time error 286216465 over 1000 seconds; set clock manually It is as if the -g is a valid command line option but ignored. brian moore wrote: > > On Wed, Jan 01, 1992 at 01:27:39AM -0600, hanasaki wrote: > > it is serving the time fine to others but: > > it wont set my server's time from another time server > > > > I have entered "server...
