Here's a workaround for your timed problems: Try using xntpd, it handles time warps much more gracefully than timed. The hardest part about xntp is choosing a server. See the url or /usr/doc/xntp* for guidance there. Then on the local server, you will need to do chkdonfig --add xntpd echo your_xntp_server > /etc/ntp/step-tickers Add to /etc/ntp.conf server your_xntp_server If you can, enable multicast by commenting out multicastclient and adding broadcast as below: driftfile /etc/ntp/drift #multicastclient # listen on default 224.0.1.1 broadcast 224.0.1.1 key 65535 broadcastdelay 0.008 On each client, then do chkconfig --add xntpd echo the_local_server > /etc/ntp/step-tickers Restart the antpd daemons of local server and clients, wait 15 minutes, and look us "ntpq -p" to verify operation (an asterisk precedes the server that is currently being used for synchronization). If you do the above, all your clients will initially set the clock from your_local_server using ntpdate, and then receive synchronization from multicast packages. This problem appears resolved. Please reopen if I'm wrong. |
