It seems, the current /etc/ntp.conf is very complicated and non-working. The xntpd server should work after installation immediately. The working /etc/ntp.conf is here: ================= # /etc/ntp.conf # # DENY all by default # restrict 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 nopeer nomodify notrust # Local Clock pseudo-driver stratum 3 # server 127.127.1.0 # PERMIT ntp servers stratum 2 from http://www.ntp.org/ #To check : xntpdc # >peer # >reslist # server 130.235.20.3 prefer restrict 130.235.20.3 server 129.132.98.11 restrict 129.132.98.11 server 130.228.230.2 restrict 130.228.230.2 server 194.192.207.9 restrict 194.192.207.9 # Drift for local clock # driftfile /etc/ntp/drift # Don't use authentication # authenticate no
Red Hat can't ship a "working" ntp.conf because we can't hardwire clock servers in /etc/ntp.conf.
