This is my server ntp.conf file:

server  128.118.25.3
server  128.105.201.11
server  142.3.100.2

#server 127.127.1.0     # local clock
#fudge  127.127.1.0 stratum 10

logfile /var/log/ntp.log        # me added for sanity sake

file /etc/ntp/drift
multicastclient                 # listen on default 224.0.1.1
broadcastdelay  0.008

authenticate no
---------------------------------------
This is my client ntp.conf file:

server  192.168.0.1     #ip of ntp server for network

#server 127.127.1.0     # local clock
#fudge  127.127.1.0 stratum 10

logfile /var/log/ntp.log        # me added for sanity sake

file /etc/ntp/drift
multicastclient                 # listen on default 224.0.1.1
broadcastdelay  0.008

authenticate no
------------------------------------
If I specify the servers here, why do i need a step-tickers file in
/etc/ntp with those same server names?

I've tried both ways, i.e modifying the ntp.conf and adding a
step-tickers, but the "clock" time stays the same and the internal cmos
clocks are not updated either.  I do get this for output on "ntpq -p"

server:
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset
jitter
==============================================================================
 128.118.25.3    0.0.0.0         16 u    -   64    0    0.000    0.000
4000.00
 128.105.201.11  0.0.0.0         16 u    -   64    0    0.000    0.000
4000.00
 142.3.100.2     0.0.0.0         16 u    -   64    0    0.000    0.000
4000.00

client:
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset
jitter
==============================================================================
 192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         16 u    -   64    0    0.000    0.000
4000.00

I didn't add any cron job to update time by the hour or any other
increment as noone said you had to that?  what am i missing here? or do
i have it and my clocks don't know what time it is?

thanks for all the help so far (better than most howto's)
chuck
