hello,

I have running xntpd daemon. But clocks are not synchronized with ntp server. When xntpd is running I cannot run ntpdate: 1 Nov 11:05:36 ntpdate[12922]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting

How can I setup every hour synchronization from another ntp server???

1) You run ntpdate once an hour, triggered by cron or 2) you keep running xntpd as you do now and only use ntpdate at boot-up /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.co.uk/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution. For government, businesses and individuals.

That's as it is supposed to be. Either you run xntp *or* you run ntpdate, not both. Philipp
