next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I am trying to set up time synchronization on 5 machines. What I want
to do is have one machine, call it host0, sync to a public ntp server
and have the other four machines, host{1,2,3,4} sync to the local xntpd
server. I have read the xntpd(8) and searched the archives but can't get
it.
On host0 I have the following in '/etc/ntp.conf':
server black-ice.cc.vt.edu
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
fudge 127.127.1.1 stratum 4
After starting xntpd on host0 I tried 'ntpdate -q host0' on the other
machines. I get a message that host0 is stratum 16, followed by a 'no
host suitable for synchronization message'. Why is host0 stratum 16?
I did an ntpdate to the public server prior to starting xntpd to get the
time right at the start.
I have had xntpd running for several hours now and the driftfile that
was created has the following contents:
0.000 0
That does not seem right. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
