Berfore inserting nomodify the clock lost 2 minutes in 1 hour, now is stable, i can't hunderstand how can localhost modify ntpd but this was the only explanation, can you help me hunderstand? remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== xntp1.inrim.it .CTD. 1 u 22 64 377 23.785 432.491 134.794 *ntp2.inrim.it .CTD. 1 u 32 64 377 25.653 221.217 130.149 +alarich.online- 192.53.103.108 2 u 39 64 377 67.928 300.899 75.004 +ntps1-0.cs.tu-b .PPS. 1 u 41 64 373 57.509 217.705 117.816 > >> # Local users may interrogate the ntp server more closely. >> restrict 127.0.0.1 nomodify >> restrict ::1 nomodify >> >> mcube@ssh-player:~$ ntpq -p >> remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset >> jitter >> ============================================================================== >> *ntp1.inrim.it .CTD. 1 u 131 64 376 23.940 478.163 >> 144.085 >> +ntp2.inrim.it .CTD. 1 u 6 64 375 25.877 540.437 >> 173.659 >> +alarich.online- 192.53.103.108 2 u 64 64 377 70.188 511.878 >> 145.782 >> +ntps1-0.cs.tu-b .PPS. 1 u 60 64 337 57.674 513.015 >> 167.303 >> >> >> Do you think there is a HW clock problem? > > My old 2-way: > > remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter > ======================================================================== > *navobs1.wustl.e .GPS. 1 u 452 1024 377 63.322 -3.093 1.269 > +ntp.okstate.edu .USNO. 1 u 135 1024 377 73.731 1.812 1.889 > +tick.uh.edu .GPS. 1 u 759 1024 257 78.868 1.829 1.288 > > Linux greer 2.6.38.6 #2 SMP Tue May 17 23:54:39 CDT 2011 i686 GNU/Linux > 06:47:26 up 43 days, 4:56, 2 users, load average: 0.01, 0.04, 0.06 > > I run a custom kernel, rolled from vanilla kernel.org source, on this > Squeeze system.

I think this isn't a good idea in my case i can't access the server directly if it hangs I had change in ntp.conf ntp servers but same problem > If changing the clock source helps, you'll need to add a boot parameter > to grub to make it permanent.

I have a hp DL360 with same kernel, same squeeze 64bit etc. and there aren't any issues with ntp how you can see remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== *ntp1.inrim.it .CTD. 1 u 168 1024 377 24.407 -0.040 0.189 +ntp2.inrim.it .CTD. 1 u 580 1024 377 23.556 0.105 0.09 Before last sunday the hp dl580 don't had this ntp problem > -- > Stan > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
