Hi Louis, In general, this sounds like the solution I was looking for. But I’m still a bit unclear about the practical implementation. So, the DC can be setup without ntpd as it will work based on the system clock which, in turn, is actually being updated by the container host using NTP. Which means we’ve got the DC itself covered. But if ntpd is not installed, then how can the DC serve time

Hi, using SLES10 I''m unable to synchronize the time of DomU with that of Dom0. There is a persistent offset of about 3 seconds!

Hello, I made an interesting observation related to the "Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -2999660320319 ns)" problem. In the log of ntpd I found: Oct 5 03:46:35 greenville-dom0 ntpd[4020]: kernel time sync status change 6001 Oct 5 04:03:41 greenville-dom0 ntpd[4020]: kernel time sync status change 2001 Oct 5 05:29:03 greenville-dom0 ntpd[4020]: kernel time sync status change

Hi On 5.3 i have a situation where some boxes have been 3 or 4 seconds out and restarting ntpd has fixed the issue. What i dont understand is why the clocks did not drift to the correct time when the config seems correct in that restarting ntp did correct the time. Is there something 'special' i need to do in order for the drift to work? $ cat /etc/ntp.conf restrict default

Hello, I recently compiled Samba 4.0.6 (as an AD DC) and am running it on Ubuntu 12.04. I followed the instructions on the Samba wiki (https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_NTP) for how to configure ntp, however the domain clients are rejecting the DCs as being acceptable time sources. Below is my ntp.conf: server 127.127.1.0 fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 server 0.pool.ntp.org iburst

Hi List I have ntp running as a service on a PC, with the expectation that it would keep time in synch to my ntp server. However, while I can manually update the time using "ntpdate -u ...", I find that if I manually force the wrong time, the ntpd service does not automatically re-synch the system time with the ntp server: - Current time: [admin at lol ~]# date Wed Jan 27 10:54:21

Alexander, First off, CentOS7 came with cronyd. Which was very annoying because when I tried to remove it, it had 2 prereqs: anaconda initial-setup Now, I don't know why the setup program kept these 2 around. I think CentOS7 needs a bit growing up. Anyway, I disabled chrony: systemctl disable time-sync systemctl stop time-sync Then I installed ntp. However, when I started it it seems that

Scenario: server PC abruptly switched off due to power cable problems (an UPS cannot solve this issue), so during shutdown Linux was not able to resinchronize the system clock. After a few hours the server come back on, Linux booted and the services (ntpd, dovecot and many others) started But the system clock was 45 minutes ahead, so: Jan 19 11:13:39 gw ntpd[2112]: synchronized to LOCAL(0),

Hello, I have a question regarding signed NTP support for Samba4 on Ubuntu 12.04. I have followed most of the steps outlined here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_NTP These steps I did differently are: * I did not install from source because the latest Ubuntu package for ntp available on Ubuntu 12.04 includes ntp-signd support already * I did not install Samba4 to /usr/local/samba, so

A shell script is deployed to synchronize time, the script is invoked hourly by crontab, and its content is as follows: #!/bin/bash service ntpd stop ntpdate 192.168.0.191 #it's a valid ntpd server in LAN service ntpd start chkconfig ntpd on Inspected the Linux log(Centos6.4 /var/log/messages), found the following fragment: Jan 7 14:00:01 host1 ntpd[32101]: ntpd exiting on signal 15 Jan 7

I have a need to run a centos server CUT-off from any connected network. So the NTP server that is running on this very small network cannot connect to any other site to do what NTP does. however, I have devices on this small network that I wish to use the centos server as the time source and run ntpd. However - it seems like ntpd server does not like to run this way. There is a LONG delay

Hi, I had the following problem today. Because of a misconfigured network switch one system suddenly didn't have any network. After a reboot (with the network still unavailable) NTPD refused to start. Most likely because the initial ntpdate failed to work. I find this troubling, because when the network was restored, NTPD could have resumed working (like I'd expect from a true

I’m currently trying to install a new (primary) AD DC in a Linux container. It seems to me that being in a container, the DC is easier to maintain and backup than on bare metal, and I prefer a container over a VM for performance reasons. If the container setup will prove to be too much of hassle, I’ll switch to a VM, though. The first issue I’m facing is time synchronization. An container cannot

Hello all, After reboot, one of my servers running CentOS5 no longer keeps its clock synced automatically. ntpd is running and I don't see anything weird being logged. If I kick off ntpd with 'ntpd -q', it will sync the clock. However, if I just rely on ntpd started with 'service ntpd start', syncing does not happen. I previously had: # Undisciplined Local Clock. This

Stan, Thanks for the reply. In our case we have actually already done most of the work you suggested to no avail. We had rebuilt two new ntp servers that sync against two stratum 1 sources, and all our nfs clients, regardless of using dovecot, sync to those two machines. You bring up the difference between bare metal and hypervisor, and we are running these machines on vmware 4.0. All the

Hi, I'm in the middle of migrating our oracle servers to RHEL and C6; while testing ntpd I'm seeing time resets. I see in sysconfig/ntpd the option g is set which means huge offset is one time ignored. But my understanding of ntpd is, it slows or accelerated kernel clock but does not make huge jumps... Is this really expected behaviour? The file step-tickers is empty, ntp.conf is

Hello everyone, If anyone is interested, I have created a HOWTO on running a Motorola GPS receiver connected to a CentOS 7 box via serial port (com1), with 1PPS over DCD. The trick here is that CentOS 7 uses systemd and setup was a bit different. Anyway, everything works. The result is a highly accurate NTP server, Stratum 1. Here is the documentation.
