I've been trying to set up NTP authentication between a server and a workstation. Both point to the same NTP server which is on a different physical box with its own IP address. I followed the steps below but I get the following result. How can I get this working?

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.

Greetings!
I just managed to install Solaris 10 on a Sparc based machine. However, there might be a problem with the way ssh is configured.
I CAN ssh from the machine into another on the network (same subnet, as root), but then the newly installed machine CANNOT seem to accept incoming ssh... (2 Replies)
Hi,
I have gone through various sites describing on how to setup NTP and also troubleshooting. Even then, I have problems. It is described as under:
My NTP server is running on Windows 2003. It is also a PDC. It gets its time through a GPS based solution. While all my workstations running on XP... (10 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)
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?

Hi All
Appreciate your help.
Here is the scenario:
1. Five months back we configured md5 authentication with network devices and NTP server and it worked fine.
2.Last week all of a sudden the network devices are out of sync.
3.We changed the md5 key and it started working.

ntp.drift
ntp.drift(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual ntp.drift(4)NAME
ntp.drift - Network Time Protocol (NTP) drift file
DESCRIPTION
When the NTP daemon (xntpd) is first started, it computes the error in the intrinsic frequency of the clock on the computer it is running
on. This process usually takes about a day or two after the daemon is started to compute a good estimate of this (and it needs a good
estimate to synchronize closely to its server). Once the initial value is computed, it will change only by relatively small amounts during
the course of continued operation.
The driftfile declaration should always be included in the ntp.conf file. This provides xntpd with complete path name to a file in which
it can store the current value of the frequency error. That way, if the daemon is stopped and restarted, it can reinitialize itself to the
previous estimate without spending time recomputing the frequency estimate.
The ntp.drift file contains one line with the following format: freq_offset flag Specifies the nominal frequency offset. DO NOT modify
this field. Specifies the method used to improve system clock accuracy. Specifies that xntpd runs a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) algorithm to
keep synchronized with other hosts. This is the default. Specifies the use of the PLL algorithm in the kernel. This requires the
NTP_TIME kernel option. After the option is configured in the kernel, edit the ntp.drift file and change the flag value to 1.
See System Administration for information on the NTP_TIME kernel option.
