Hi,
Can someone let me know the detail procedure for configuring NTP in Solaris/Windows/Linux environment....???
I would like to use any NTP Server on Windows Server & rest of the systems running with Solaris 10/9 & Linux be as NTP Client. All NTP Client should take the time from NTP Server... (8 Replies)
Can anybody please explain the below table to monitor NTP daemon status
This contains many columns like remote,refid,st....various values corresponding to those columns
If possible provide me any link to study about these quantities clearly.
It is very much required for my project please... (3 Replies)

I need to configure an NTP daemon on a "bridge-PC" connected on 2 LANs. It is expected to read the correct time on a time server on the first LAN and behave as a server for the second LAN.
Can I do both the things with ntpd?
In other words, is ntpd able to work as client and server at the same... (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 have a home network set up that consists of a few windows clients and 3 centos, and 1 suse client. These are all virtual machines, VMware Workstation. One centos vm is set to be the Samba server. Do I need Samba set up on the other Linux clients?I have no problem seeing the windows clients... (0 Replies)
Hi All,
Where can I find all the NTP server names/ip addresses on Linux/Solaris systems. How can I grep these names/IP address from specific files from a specific OS (Linux/Solaris).
I know on linux /etc/ntp.conf and /etc/ntp/ntp.conf on solaris contains these details. Whether I am right about... (4 Replies)

ntpq
NTPQ(1) General Commands Manual NTPQ(1)NAME
ntpq - standard NTP query program
SYNOPSIS
ntpq [-inp] [-c command] [host] [...]
DESCRIPTION
The ntpq utility program is used to monitor NTP daemon ntpd operations and determine performance. It uses the standard NTP mode 6 control
message formats defined in Appendix B of the NTPv3 specification RFC1305. The same formats are used in NTPv4, although some of the vari-
ables have changed and new ones added. The description on this page is for the NTPv4 variables.
The program can be run either in interactive mode or controlled using command line arguments. Requests to read and write arbitrary vari-
ables can be assembled, with raw and pretty-printed output options being available. The ntpq can also obtain and print a list of peers in a
common format by sending multiple queries to the server.
If one or more request options is included on the command line when ntpq is executed, each of the requests will be sent to the NTP servers
running on each of the hosts given as command line arguments, or on localhost by default. If no request options are given, ntpq will
attempt to read commands from the standard input and execute these on the NTP server running on the first host given on the command line,
again defaulting to localhost when no other host is specified. ntpq will prompt for commands if the standard input is a terminal device.
ntpq uses NTP mode 6 packets to communicate with the NTP server, and hence can be used to query any compatible server on the network which
permits it. Note that since NTP is a UDP protocol this communication will be somewhat unreliable, especially over large distances in terms
of network topology. ntpq makes one attempt to retransmit requests, and will time requests out if the remote host is not heard from within
a suitable timeout time.
Note that in contexts where a host name is expected, a -4 qualifier preceding the host name forces DNS resolution to the IPv4 namespace,
while a -6 qualifier forces DNS resolution to the IPv6 namespace.
OPTIONS
Command line options are described following. Specifying a command line option other than -i or -n will cause the specified query (queries)
to be sent to the indicated host(s) immediately. Otherwise, ntpq will attempt to read interactive format commands from the standard input.
-4 Force DNS resolution of following host names on the command line to the IPv4 namespace.
-6 Force DNS resolution of following host names on the command line to the IPv6 namespace.
-c The following argument is interpreted as an interactive format command and is added to the list of commands to be executed on the
specified host(s). Multiple -c options may be given.
-i Force ntpq to operate in interactive mode. Prompts will be written to the standard output and commands read from the standard input.
-n Output all host addresses in dotted-quad numeric format rather than converting to the canonical host names.
-p Print a list of the peers known to the server as well as a summary of their state. This is equivalent to the peers interactive com-
mand.
