Ntp time synchronization problems

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 :

Code:

# /sbin/init.d/xntpd start

however seems like there is no effect.

I also tried and used this command :

Code:

# ntpq -p

But I get this error :
ntpq: read: Can't assign requested address

Some solutions I googled have suggested killing processes which are using the port 123, which is the default port for ntp. And then try restarting xntpd.

Another option given was to try and reboot the server after making changes required in configuration files.

However, there are too many important processes that are running on port 123 at the moment, like nfs, and rpcbind. I am afraid killing these processes will cause problems.

Will a reboot resolve this problem?

I have checked and compared all settings in the configuration files for ntp setup (like /etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons, /etc/ntp.conf, /etc/TIMEZONE) with other servers(where ntp works), and everything is the same.

ntp across time zones

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...

nwfstime

NWFSTIME(1)							     nwfstime							       NWFSTIME(1)

NAME

       nwfstime - Display / Set a NetWare server's date and time

SYNOPSIS

       nwfstime [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -s ]

DESCRIPTION

       nwfstime displays a NetWare server's date and time. You can also set a NetWare server's date and time from the local time.

OPTIONS

       -h
	  With -h nwfstime prints a little help text.

       -S server
	  is the name of the server you want to use.

       -U user
	  user is the user name to use for login. To set the server's time, you need supervisor privileges.

       -P password
	  password  is	the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwfstime
	  prompts for a password.

       -n
	  -n should be given if no password is required for the login. As you need supervisor privileges for  setting  the  date  and  time,  this
	  option is probably not used very often.

       -C
	  By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
	  this conversion by -C.

       -s
	  With -s, nwfstime sets the file server's date and time according to the local date and time.
