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.

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)
Hello Everyone,
I got a question regarding NTP (Network time protocal) in AIX.
AIX is new in our environment. so' we do not have any time server that is useful for new LPARs.
so' i tried using IBM steps to configure NTP server on one of our test/lab LPARs.
I used the below link to make it... (2 Replies)

ntp.conf
ntp.conf(5) File Formats Manual ntp.conf(5)Name
ntp.conf - Network Time Protocol configuration file
Description
The file is the configuration file for the Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon, This file must be configured on your system before running
Any host names that you specify in the file must have an entry in the file, or an entry in the master database, if the database is being
served to your system by BIND/Hesiod or Yellow Pages.
The file has four entry formats:
trusting no
This entry guarantees that your system synchronizes only to the NTP servers identified in the peer and server entries specified. Dig-
ital recommends that all systems include the entry.
peer server
This entry identifies server as one of the NTP servers that your system trusts, and from which your system will accept time synchro-
nization. Your system may also provide time synchronization to this server. Servers can be identified by host name or internet
address.
NTP servers should be configured with entries.
server server
This entry identifies server as one of the NTP servers that your system trusts, and from which your system will accept time synchro-
nization. Your system can not provide time synchronization to this server. Servers can be identified by host name or internet
address.
NTP clients should be configured with entries.
peer /dev/null LOCL 1 -5 local
This entry identifies your system as a local reference clock. A local reference clock is the most accurate system clock available at
your site. If you receive time synchronization from the Internet NTP service, you should not include this entry on any of your sys-
tems. At most, one system in a set of nodes running should be identified as a local reference clock.
A host which specifies this entry should not specify any or entries.
Examples
This is a sample configuration file for an NTP client which receives time synchronization from the NTP servers: and Lines beginning with a
number sign (#) are comments.

# "trusting no" prevents this host from synchronizing

# that all hosts include the line "trusting no".

#
# If you are configuring a server, use "peer" entries to
# synchronize to other NTP servers. For example, server1,
# server2, and server3.

#peer server1
#peer server2
#peer server3

# If you are configuring a client, use "server" entries to
