ntptrace(1) General Commands Manual ntptrace(1)NAME
ntptrace - trace a chain of NTP servers back to the primary source
SYNOPSIS
ntptrace [ -vdn ] [ -r retries ] [ -t timeout ] [ server ]
DESCRIPTION
ntptrace determines where a given Network Time Protocol (NTP) server gets its time from, and follows the chain of NTP servers back to
their master time source. If given no arguments, it starts with localhost . Here is an example of the output from ntptrace :
% ntptrace localhost: stratum 4, offset 0.0019529, synch distance 0.144135 server2ozo.com: stratum 2, offset 0.0124263, synch distance
0.115784 usndh.edu: stratum 1, offset 0.0019298, synch distance 0.011993, refid On each line, the fields are (left to right): the host
name, the host stratum, the time offset between that host and the local host (as measured by ntptrace ; this is why it is not always zero
for " localhost "), the host synchronization distance, and (only for stratum-1 servers) the reference clock ID. All times are given in sec-
onds. Note that the stratum is the server hop count to the primary source, while the synchronization distance is the estimated error rela-
tive to the primary source. These terms are precisely defined in RFC-1305.
OPTIONS -d Turns on some debugging output.
-n Turns off the printing of host names; instead, host IP addresses are given. This may be useful if a nameserver is down.
-r retries Sets the number of retransmission attempts for each host (default = 5).
-t timeout Sets the retransmission timeout (in seconds) (default = 2).
-v Prints verbose information about the NTP servers.
BUGS
This program makes no attempt to improve accuracy by doing multiple samples.

ntptrace - trace a chain of NTP servers back to the primary source
SYNOPSIS
ntptrace [ -m max_hops ] [ -n ]
DESCRIPTION
ntptrace determines where a given Network Time Protocol (NTP) server gets its time from, and follows the chain of NTP servers back to their
master time source. If given no arguments, it starts with localhost. Here is an example of the output from ntptrace:
% ntptrace
localhost: stratum 4, offset 0.0019529, synch distance 0.144135
server2ozo.com: stratum 2, offset 0.0124263, synch distance 0.115784
usndh.edu: stratum 1, offset 0.0019298, synch distance 0.011993, refid 'WWVB'
On each line, the fields are (left to right): the host name, the host stratum, the time offset between that host and the local host (as
measured by ntptrace; this is why it is not always zero for "localhost"), the host synchronization distance, and (only for stratum-1
servers) the reference clock ID. All times are given in seconds. Note that the stratum is the server hop count to the primary source, while
the synchronization distance is the estimated error relative to the primary source. These terms are precisely defined in RFC-1305.
OPTIONS -m max_hops
Sets the number of server hops to follow (default = 99).
-n Turns off the printing of host names; instead, host IP addresses are given. This may be useful if a nameserver is down.

I've been tasked to implement ntp on my SCO Unix servers. I have over 600 servers spread across the US in different time zones. Each remote server has network connectivity to a main server here, through their local ISP. (That's how we currently deliver mail to them).
My question is, how can... (5 Replies)

Folks;
I'm setting up a new NTP server to sync time for our network. I have one Linux server that needs to point to that NTP server
My 3 questions are:
1. I added the IP address for the NTP server to the "/etc/hosts" file on the Linux server. Is that all i need to do to make the Linux server... (5 Replies)
Hi folks,
The server time is no tgetiing synched up with the NTP server.
I tried ntpdate -u <ipadress> this is not working. please help out.

I need to find out the NTP Clients which are syncing with my NTP Server in a Unix(Linux/Solaris) Machine. For eg. How many Stratum 2 Servers sync the time with my Stratum1 Server. Is there any way to track it?

Hello All,
Does some one know how to synchronize the primary name server with the secondary without knowing the domains on which synchronization failed.
I have just done /usr/sbin/ndc reload
Alternatively how do i find out the domains on which synchronization failed? (4 Replies)

There is one server in my company where the time is out of sync.
When I checked (compared with other servers whose time is correct), the XNTPD variable in /etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons was set as 0.
I changed this to 1, and tried restarting the xntpd process with :
# /sbin/init.d/xntpd start

This is Solaris 9, which is service as NTP server for many unix clients. At backend, it it synching time with three GPS clocks. From past few days, I am noticing time reset to 1 second. Is this a problem ?
