Does it work if you issue with ntp daemon off :
If it works command should return data indicated that time was synced.
You can run it multiple times if you want.
Can you check your NTP conf on the client (that box) ?
Does netstat or lsof show what is holding the port open ?
Perhaps your HPUX box is configured as NTP server with some other (copied) /etc/ntp.conf config file and directives in it to bind to non existing address ?
If your server is NTP client (wants to sync time from your NTP servers), all you should have is couple of lines in ntp.conf (with additional steps you did correctly - netdaemons etc) for things to work (with resolving working or hosts/resolv.conf file configured).
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... (5 Replies)

What is the best way to keep the system clock synchronized? I have looked at ntp and netdate. Is one good over the other? Basically I want to know if what is the most secure way to keep the system clock insync. netdate will require me to open up some port 37... is this safe? ntp also... (1 Reply)
i have an HP UNIX box w/c acts as ntp server...

Hy,
I'm having problems with NTP synchronisation on one of the machines wich runs SCO 5.0.5Eb.
It should synchronize with one RedHat machine in local network, but it doesn't (all other machines are fine). It just falls behind after a while.
In /etc/ntp.conf i have only this entry:

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 all,,
am trying to do a time synchronization between a ntp server and a client, but facing some problems in doing so:
i run the ntpdate in debug mode and this is what i got. please help me out..

Good morning,
My first post and first visit, so hello. I have been asked to see if one of our Linux boxes can have it's time sync automatically because the person who built the system has told our staff it cannot be done. To me that raised some flags because although I am no Linux expert, I just... (12 Replies)

Hello,
one of my clients has the following task for me:
To write a Perl script that checks, whether ntp is active on a particular AIX or Linux box.
Obviously the last synchronization is logged in the file ntp.log
So, my task would be find out, when the synchronization SHOULD have taken... (1 Reply)

synchronize
synchronize(1m)synchronize(1m)NAME
synchronize - Causes the DTS entity to synchronize the clock on the system where the command is entered.
SYNOPSIS
dtscp synchronize [set clock boolean]
ARGUMENTS
Specifies whether the clock is abruptly set or gradually adjusted to the computed time. This argument is optional. The following values
are valid: The clock is gradually adjusted. This is the default condition. The clock is abruptly set.
DESCRIPTION
The synchronize command causes the DTS clerk or server to solicit time intervals from servers, compute the intersection of the time inter-
vals, and adjust the system clock to the midpoint of the computed time interval. This command overrides the functions of the synchroniza-
tion hold down characteristic.
Privilege Required
You must have write permission on the ACL associated with the DTS entity in order to execute the command.
NOTES
The synchronize command does not execute if the entity is already synchronizing or is disabled; the entity must be in the on state.
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows how to initiate a synchronization for the entity, followed by a gradual clock adjustment: dtscp> synchronize
The following example shows how to initiate a synchronization for the entity, followed by an abrupt reset of the clock: dtscp> synchronize
set clock true
