I've curious about where and how Centos 7 gets its ntp configuration from. When I installed the operating system, I went through this page and told it to use "network time", as shown: http://media.if-not-true-then-false.com/2014/07/06-centos-7-date-and-time-748x560.png I just discovered that i don't actually have ntp installed on this computer, though the rpm does exist when I search for it with yum. I do have ntpdate installed, but can't find any configuration files that specify the timeservers that it's supposed to be using. I don't have a /etc/ntp.conf file, and a grep of /var/log/messages doesn't yield any lines containing the string ntp either. My computer's clock is not inaccurate, so I guess that ntp is working somewhere behind the scenes here, but it sure is well hidden. Where is ntp and its configuration hiding? Why isn't it logging what it's doing? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com
