Hrm, well, it would appear that ntpd 4.2.2p1 does not log enough info. It sends log info to syslog, but that seems to report only startup/shutdown/error info (even with "debug" level captured). I added the logfile option and got a status report in the logfile every time ntpd connected to an upstream stratus server.
But it never reported when it was used as a stratus server.
Patching the source code might be in order.

All,
How do you set a Solaris 9 server which received ntp updates from a ntp server to broadcast them on a local subnet. I have created a /etc/inet/ntp.conf file to receive the updates from a server on network and need to make this server become like a ntp relay from the main server.

Hi,
OS: Solaris9, SPARC
Is there any way I can track the commands run by users from the shell prompt?
Example:
Somebody is deleting files from the system. Who it is is a mystery. That person obviously does not use bash prompt so there is no history. Is there anyway I can find out who... (5 Replies)
dear all,

Good morning to all,
can someone advise me how to setup aix ntp server with aix & wintel clients?
Secondly, I also require to enable the service to autostart on reboot, how do I configure this?
Thirdly, how do I configure daily autosync between clients and server?
Please advice, thanks.... (0 Replies)
Is there a way to track down what process is sending to a certain port? I have some thing pounding the network with requests to a multicast IP that doesn't exist. I have shut down all comms related processes and yet it is still there. Need a way to track the port or IP back to the process. Thanks... (3 Replies)
All here, thank you for listening. Now I've set up a Linux NTP server by adding a external windows NTP server in /etc/ntp.conf. Then I start the ntpd daemon. But how often does the Linux NTP server update its time with the external NTP server? I've looked up everywhere but found no information... (1 Reply)
I've tried to see what I can find on my own but I'm coming up with goose eggs. Basically I was wondering if there was a way of querying the scheduler (or something similar) to track a process back to a particular CPU it's executing on at the time of the command. ps has a "cpu" output option but...

hi guys
I have several Red Hat 5.7(7) all of them sync time with two NTP Servers based on Windows but the issue is I configure the NTP service, I start the ntp service and use ntpdate -u to set the time the first time
This is what I do
1. Configure /etc/ntp.conf

Hi,
I have two ntp servers in my cluster and I want all the nodes in my cluster to sync with either of the ntp servers or just one. Unfortunately it keep rotating the sync, between my ntp server 1, ntp server 2 and local. Is there anyway I can change the sync to avoid local?

ntpd
NTPD(8) System Manager's Manual NTPD(8)NAME
ntpd - "Network Time Protocol daemon"
SYNOPSIS
ntpd [-dnSsv] [-f file]
DESCRIPTION
The ntpd daemon synchronizes the local clock to one or more remote NTP servers or local timedelta sensors. ntpd can also act as an NTP
server itself, redistributing the local time. It implements the Simple Network Time Protocol version 4, as described in RFC 2030, and the
Network Time Protocol version 3, as described in RFC 1305.
ntpd uses the adjtime(2) system call to correct the local system time without causing time jumps. Adjustments larger than 128ms are logged
using syslog(3) with LOG_INFO priority. The threshold value is chosen to avoid having local clock drift thrash the log files. Should ntpd
be started with the -d option, all calls to adjtime(2) will be logged.
When ntpd starts up, it reads settings from a configuration file, typically ntpd.conf(5).
The options are as follows:
-d Do not daemonize. If this option is specified, ntpd will run in the foreground and log to stderr.
-f file
Use file as the configuration file, instead of the default /etc/openntpd/ntpd.conf.
-n Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity.
-S Do not set the time immediately at startup. This is the default.
-s Set the time immediately at startup if the local clock is off by more than 180 seconds. Allows for a large time correction, elimi-
nating the need to run rdate(8) before starting .
-v This option allows ntpd to send DEBUG priority messages to syslog.
When ntpd receives a SIGINFO signal, it will write its peer and sensor status to syslog.
FILES
/etc/openntpd/ntpd.conf
default ntpd configuration file
/var/lib/openntpd/ntpd.drift
drift file, written by ntpd periodically and used at startup to get the initial clock drift
