similar to: use samba timeserver for linux box

Help Andrew! and whoever else.. I have a Linux Mandrake 7.2 box with Samba 2.07 acting as a timeserver for our local lan. We are in the CST timezone. All windows boxes sync thier time from the Linux box via: net time \\Nemesis /set /yes. I would like to have xntp keep the clock on the server updated. Problem: ntpdate and xntp work great at setting the Linux box hardware clock to GMT. The

Hi, I have the following manifest that basically syncs the time for nodes really out of sync and ntpd can''t drift the time back fast enough. The problem is that when puppet executes the catalog, and puppet changes the time, puppet never finishes because it can''t calculate the "run time" since puppet changed the time during the puppet run. Is this a bug? Should I do

Hi All, I am currently running a setup with a main DC ad1, that has ntpd installed and is currently configured to retrieve the time from the UK NTP time pool. I also have a second backup AD DC, ad2, on which I have not installed ntpd but I have installed ntpdate. My current understanding is that the setup I have just described is in-line with the recommended best practices outlined in the

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

Hi, the date jumps within 30 seconds to a wrong value. ntp service is stopped at the beginning. Whereas hwclock seems more precise. [root at kerio ~]# service ntpd stop Shutting down ntpd: [ OK ] [root at kerio ~]# ntpdate 0.centos.pool.ntp.org 13 Mar 07:04:48 ntpdate[23003]: step time server 131.234.137.24 offset -3450.678273 sec [root at

I made a somewhat deep check for time synchronization and I couldn't find what I was looking for. What I need to do is synchronize the clock on a Linux box to the clock on an NT server. I can't use NTP or any other protocol because the NT box doesn't understand it. Any pointers would be great. The second issue is that I need to do (if possible) a reverse NetBios name lookup by

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

Dear all, I would need some advice as I am a beginner in CentOS. The question is as follows: How to set up timing if NTP was block by ISP? I have try many way such as link the timezone , getting from the hardware clock.However , it is not the solution. Please advice. -- Regards, Ku Wei Xiong 0166365831

I noticed this morning that my ntp time was not correct on machines. So I manually ran "ntpdate time.apple.com" on my clients, I got 7 May 08:46:43 ntpdate[10550]: no server suitable for synchronization found then I ran "ntpdate -d time.apple.com" and it worked . filter offset: -163.446 -163.446 -163.446 -163.447 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 delay 0.20570,

I'm building a new Ubuntu 16.04 machine, including Dovecot. When I select the dovecot-core package in Synaptic, it also wants to install ntpdate. Problem: ntpdate has been replaced in Ubuntu with timedatectl. In fact, if ntpdate exists on the machine, ntpd will not work properly. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/NTP.html See:

Hello everybody, I just tried to run 'yum update' and got this error: Error: Package: ntp-4.2.6p5-19.el7.centos.x86_64 (@updates) Requires: ntpdate = 4.2.6p5-19.el7.centos Removing: ntpdate-4.2.6p5-19.el7.centos.x86_64 (@updates) ntpdate = 4.2.6p5-19.el7.centos Updated By: ntpdate-4.2.6p5-19.el7.centos.1.x86_64 (updates) ntpdate =

Hi guys, Thanks for your reply. I originally used the following command to synchronize time: ntpdate 192.168.0.191 but got the error: ntpdate[16715]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting So i used the way of stopping ntpd service. Now I have known that using command "ntpdate -u 192.168.0.191" can solve the above error, and also know using ntpdate command is an improper way, i.e. should use

Hi, I''m trying to run ntpdate from domain zero and getting weird results. This used to work (prior to using xen). Is this related to xen at all or an entirely unrelated issue? Queries seem to work: # ntpdate -q time-b.nist.gov Looking for host time-b.nist.gov and service ntp host found : time-b.nist.gov server 129.6.15.29, stratum 1, offset 41.820087, delay 0.17027 17

I have been searching through the docs and on the web to no avail. I work at a university and we are moving our fileservers to new hardware. The problem is, nothing seems to integrate Mac's and Win box's happily. We have a large user base using samba already, but when mac's pick up the same share via CAP, CAP creates files to deal with the dual 'stream' nature of files from a

I have multiple VM's on the same KVM host. One of the VM's is running NTP. All VM's can reach eachother, no firewall in between. But the problem is, the VM's cannot communicate over port 123/udp to the NTP VM. Network: 172.24.100.0/22 KVM: 172.24.101.50 VM ntp: 172.24.102.10 VM foo: 172.24.102.20 1. On the NTP server, listen for any incoming packets from VM foo

Hi, I am having a problem synchronizing user passwords with an LDAP server. The samba password works fine but synchronizing the LDAP unixpassword fails. Samba server and LDAP server are not identically and therefore I need the old an the new password for whatever passwd chat. But %o is an empty string. I browse through the source code and found: /* * At this point we have the new

Hi, I followed the discussions regarding the "time moved backward" problem and the use of ntp in such cases. At our department we are running two dovecot servers within an vmware server environment, and unfortunately the timedrift (with ntpd active) exceeds sometimes up to 30 minutes virtual drift within 10 minutes realtime (mostly into future). This is due to some overcorrections

Hi everybody. I have to admin two offices, about 500 km apart. Because we're in Germany and dedicated lines (and even VPN ones over the internet) are very heavy in cost, we use a dialup ISDN connection. That is online almost 8 hours a day, but still cheaper. Now the remote office said that their e-mail was too slow and I installed a second samba server for them, being a logon master so

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

I've seen situations where people have put ntpdate in a cronjob to get around issues with big time jumps at boot or dodgy clocks under virtualization. There are much better solutions to this problem, so let us know if this is the case for you. K
