similar to: Why the command 'service ntpd stop' cause the time reversed?

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

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

Hello, all. I would like to use ntpd for time sync not rdate or ntpdate. but after installation the ntpd, I found that listened at all interfaces like below. udp 0 0 192.168.111.2:123 0.0.0.0:* 11528/ntpd udp 0 0 xxx.xxx.62.20:123 0.0.0.0:* 11528/ntpd udp 0 0

Hi guys, I don't use virtual machine. The 192.168.0.191 is an internal ntpd server configured by administrator, so i can not see what ntp server it synchronizes to or what is its time reference. But i have added a new line "server 192.168.0.191" into file "/etc/ntp.conf" on ntpd client machines, and the output to execute command ntpstat is as follows: synchronised to NTP

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),

This is really stupid question. But referring to: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2009-October/083791.html I don't see any line related to ntpd in my /var/log/messages . Do I need to turn-on ntpd for timekeeping on VMs? Some people say not to use ntpd on VMs for timekeeping or is it ntpdate cron job? Can someone please elaborate on this? Thanks, Jonathan. -------------- next part

Hello, in system-config-date i have checkbox synchronize date before service startup. Which config switch,file does it affect? I want to turn it on on my CentOS machine without xauth , just editing config files , i was hoping it could be in /etc/sysconfig/ntpd but no. Thanks in advance!

Hi All, I am using vms on gogrid and rackspace completely. I am decent but still learning puppet. The biggest problem with vms, especially where I cant control the Host is ntp time and date sync to be good. Here is my config to sync ntp. Please dont tailor my code just help me fix the problem. This code works 99% of the servers its on except for 2 centos 5 machines. class base { class {

Hi there, I've been a happy djbdns+tinydns user for many, many years. I want to keep using it, so answers of the form "bletch! Use ISC BIND the way BSD intended" will be ignored :-) Having said that, one annoying consequence of my transition some time ago to using ntpd, rather than just setting the clock once-off with ntpdate as I used to, is that the /etc/rc.d mechanism starts

I thought I'd play with making my system an ntp server. I did the "service ntpd start" it started OK. on my laptop I did "ntpdate IP" and it says no server for sync found. My firewall has open ntp:udp What did I miss? Thanks, Jerry

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

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

Hallo, I am running dovecot on a PC (a workstation) to have a mail client independent storage for my mails. Now I would like to have the system clock set correctly by using ntpd or ntpdate (using debian/sid). The problem is, that the PC is not online at boot time, but is set online on demand manually using "pon" to start the pppd later. So ntpd cannot sync the time on boot time

Hello ! Just a quick question about time synchronization between xen dom0 and domUs... We''re running Xen 3.1 64-bit, with 32 and 64 bits linux guests. It''s up since 89 days and the domU''s time is around 5 minutes behind the dom0, which is updated via ntpdate... Any idea why it doesn''t sync the guests even that /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock is 0 ?

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

OK, So what you people say is : 1. Run "ntpdate" during startup only once 2. After that, keep time with ntpd Right ? Regards, spyros ---- "I merely function as a channel that filters music through the chaos of noise" - Vangelis

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

Is there a package to do this? Normally the hardware clock is set during shutdown if one is running ntpd. But if a long-running server shuts down unexpectedly, this isn't done, and the hardware clock might be off by a lot when it comes back up. So setting it periodically from a cron job could be useful. What do others do? Adding a one liner to /etc/cron.daily that invokes
