NTP Server issue
Hi team,

I was like try to create an NTP time server under my RHEL6 box, but once I try to sync other Windows clients (and some Linux) I alway get an error with syncing with my NTP server, here is my non-hashed ntp.conf file parameters:
Code:
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift
restrict 192.168.238.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap #My Network
server 192.168.238.140 #This server
includefile /etc/ntp/crypto/pw
keys /etc/ntp/keys

Its good to know that I turned off my firewall (iptables) and my SELinux policies as well and I can easily ping between the clients and the server.

Exactly what error are you getting?

Like this:

Code:
[root@host1 ~]# ntpdate 192.168.238.140
21 Sep 18:13:14 ntpdate[2095]: no server suitable for synchronization found

Again, I don't have any firewall on all sides.

What do you get with
Code:
[root@host1 ~]# ntpq -np 192.168.238.140

?

Code:
[root@host1 ~]# ntpq -np 192.168.238.140
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter

That's a misconfigured NTP server.
The NTP server must either refer to a hardware clock or to another server that has a path to a hardware clock.
You can use the own system HW clock like
Code:
server 127.127.0.1

Consult your man pages
Code:
man ntp.conf

But I already included the server clock for inquiery from the other clients, this code is part from my ntp.conf file

Code:
server 192.168.238.140 #This server
