<p><b>New page</b></p><div>I created /etc/ntp/ntp.conf file with the following settings<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
marouf@quark->more ntp.conf<br />
restrict 192.168.0.0<br />
restrict 127.0.0.1<br />
server ntp1.earlham.edu<br />
server ntp2.earlham.edu<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
you can check and see if ntp is actually using the two servers above as peers by using ntpq -p<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
[root@hp /var/log]# ntpq -p<br />
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter<br />
==============================================================================<br />
pax.earlham.edu 128.105.37.11 3 u 65 128 7 0.493 31954.9 4.326<br />
eirene.earlham. 128.105.38.11 3 u 66 128 7 0.559 31948.8 4.630<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<br />
and finally make sure to add the following line to /etc/rc.conf<br />
<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
[root@hp /var/log]# more /etc/rc.conf | grep ntpd<br />
ntpd_enable="YES"<br />
</pre></div>Marouf
