Hi Perderabo

Thanks a lot for the reply. I have few clarifications required and information to be given here ....

Quote:

First, I would manually adjust the clock to be closer. You're 900 seconds off assuming your 15 minutes is accurate. ntp maxes out at about 1000 seconds. Next, any errors in the logs? And check your ntp config: use a good server and use a drift file.
What exactly is the meaning that "ntp maxes out at about 1000 seconds" ?

There is no errors in the logs ... actually the logfile is not updated after NOV 2005. Thats really amazing.

Can you pls suggest a good server? My server is located in US California.

How to use a drift file? Whats the use of that?

Thanks a lot in advance
