I doubt that's you're having permission problems. I've used xntpd with both Redhat and SuSE (this box has SuSE 6.3) without problems. I just installed the rpm's and then modified the /etc/ntp.conf file. Are you connecting to the internet using a dialup connection? If so, that may be the trouble?? I'm using a cablem modem which is really an ethernet full time connection. I believe that's what xntpd is intended for. It may be trying to start at boot time and then shutting down when it can't find a network connection?? If you are using a dialup connection try restarting xntpd when you've established the connection. Once connected enter "/etc/rc.d/xntpd stop" and then a "/etc/rc.d/xntpd start". Wait a minute or so and then enter "/usr/sbin/ntpq -n". At the prompt enter "pe" (all of the above without the ""). If it's working you should see the connection ip's, their reference site, the stratum level, the time to the next time check, the length of time between time checks (this will increase as the times settle), plus some other good stuff. re-entering "pe" will redisplay the status. An * infront of a line indicates that xntpd has decided to use that ip as the reference site but will continue to monitor all sites. Gerry On 16-Jan-00 tabanna wrote:

~ still no data in drift file.
It doesn't look particularly healthy, the offset field is in seconds and is roughly 40 hours. Stratum means the number of ntp servers between you and some time reference, stratum 1 servers are connected to a hardware clock of some sort. /Michael -- This space intentionally left non-blank. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
