Hi All, I'm trying to run ntpd here to both set the clock and then keep it synchronized with our ntp server. My problem is that ntpd seems to be trying to slew the clock instead of setting it. Here is an example:
wolf:/home/andrew.dixon# date Fri Jun 15 03:46:54 EDT 2001 wolf:/home/andrew.dixon# ntpd wolf:/home/andrew.dixon# date Fri Jun 15 03:47:00 EDT 2001 wolf:/home/andrew.dixon# killall ntpd wolf:/home/andrew.dixon# ntpdate seranoa-fw.seranoa.com 27 Sep 10:36:56 ntpdate[257]: step time server 172.16.1.254 offset 9010177.053992 sec wolf:/home/andrew.dixon# date Thu Sep 27 10:37:01 EDT 2001 As you can see the ntpd does not step the clock to the correct time. Here's my /etc/ntp.conf file: # /etc/ntp.conf, configuration for xntpd # ntpd will use syslog() if logfile is not defined #logfile /var/log/ntpd driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift statsdir /var/log/ntpstats/ statistics loopstats peerstats clockstats filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable server seranoa-fw.seranoa.com Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Andy
