## Issue Hello,I got a ntp problem always occurred around with ntpd version 4.2.2, rhel6 rhel7 now uses ntpd-4.2.6,but some system also use ntpd-4.2.2 , I have hundreds of machines running ntpd-4.2.2 but __half of them sync failed and select itself intermittently.__ I don't know why this phenomenon occurred? Is this ntpd's bug? ### client: dmsag(10.13.1.41) ### SERVER: 10.13.2.1, 10.13.2.2 ### client NTP version: ``` [root.am65:/root] #ntpd --version ntpd: ntpd 4.2.2p1 Mon Dec 29 09:33:00 UTC 2014 (1) ``` ### client NTP configure: ``` [root@dmsag /root] #cat /etc/ntp.conf driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift pidfile /var/run/ntpd.pid #logfile /var/log/ntp.log # Access Control Support restrict default ignore restrict -6 default ignore restrict 127.0.0.1 restrict 10.13.2.1 restrict 10.13.2.2 # local clock server 127.127.1.0 fudge 127.127.1.2 stratum 10 server 10.13.2.1 iburst minpoll 4 maxpoll 6 prefer server 10.13.2.2 iburst minpoll 4 maxpoll 6 ``` ### server NTP version: ``` [root@r7f4a4100 ~]# ntpd --version ntpd 4.2.6p5 ntpd 4.2.6p5 Sat Dec 20 11:11:28 UTC 2014 (1) ``` ### There are package exchanges between client with server ``` [root@dmsag /root] #tcpdump -i any host 10.13.2.2 and port 123 -nn tcpdump: WARNING: Promiscuous mode not supported on the "any" device tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on any, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked), capture size 96 bytes 13:05:44.366753 IP 10.13.1.41.123 > 10.13.2.2.123: NTPv4, Client, length 48 13:05:44.372187 IP 10.13.1.41.123 > 10.13.2.2.123: NTPv4, Client, length 48 13:05:44.366923 IP 10.13.2.2.123 > 10.13.1.41.123: NTPv4, Server, length 48 13:06:48.366735 IP 10.13.1.41.123 > 10.13.2.2.123: NTPv4, Client, length 48 13:06:48.366739 IP 10.13.1.41.123 > 10.13.2.2.123: NTPv4, Client, length 48 13:06:48.366896 IP 10.13.2.2.123 > 10.13.1.41.123: NTPv4, Server, length 48 ^C 6 packets captured 6 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel ``` ### client always select itself ``` [root@dmsag /root] #ntpq -np remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== *127.127.1.0 .LOCL. 5 l 63 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.001 10.13.2.1 10.98.94.5 4 u 26 64 377 0.108 -9.741 4.278 10.13.2.2 10.98.94.5 4 u 23 64 377 0.118 -12.981 5.226 ``` ### ntp server ``` [root@dmsag /root] #ssh 10.13.2.1 Last login: Thu Feb 9 13:02:29 2017 from testx.tbsite.net [root@r7f4a4100 ~]# ntpq -np remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== 127.127.1.0 .LOCL. 5 l 88m 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 *10.98.94.5 40.118.106.130 3 u 17 64 377 0.378 23.436 11.696 10.13.2.1 .INIT. 16 u - 16 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 +10.13.2.2 10.98.94.5 4 u 11 16 376 0.389 5.377 1.966 ``` ## DEBUG ### strace ``` [root@dmsag /root] #strace -p 32121 Process 32121 attached - interrupt to quit select(19, [16 17 18], NULL, NULL, NULL) = ?

*** Bug 1420627 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Without seeing output from ntpq -c 'rv $ID', where ID is the association ID of the server from 'ntpq -c as' output, it's difficult to tell what exactly it's going on. However, as a general rule, it's not recommended to use the local driver (server 127.127.1.x) on NTP clients. It's meant to be used only on a server that should serve its local time when no other source is available. Can you please try removing the 127.127.1.0 lines from the configuration file? Please note that even if this is a bug in 4.2.2, it's very unlikely it will be fixed in RHEL6 as it's already in the production phase 2, where only critical bugs are now fixed. https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Production_2_Phase
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 shipped it's last minor release, 5.11, on September 14th, 2014. On March 31st, 2017 RHEL 5 exits Production Phase 3 and enters Extended Life Phase. For RHEL releases in the Extended Life Phase, Red Hat will provide limited ongoing technical support. No bug fixes, security fixes, hardware enablement or root-cause analysis will be available during this phase, and support will be provided on existing installations only. If the customer purchases the Extended Life-cycle Support (ELS), certain critical-impact security fixes and selected urgent priority bug fixes for the last minor release will be provided. For more details please consult the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Life Cycle Page: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata This BZ does not appear to meet ELS criteria so is being closed WONTFIX. If this BZ is critical for your environment and you have an Extended Life-cycle Support Add-on entitlement, please open a case in the Red Hat Customer Portal, https://access.redhat.com ,provide a thorough business justification and ask that the BZ be re-opened for consideration of an errata. Please note, only certain critical-impact security fixes and selected urgent priority bug fixes for the last minor release can be considered.
