xntp???

31 Oct 2004

      I am trying to change which server is used by xntp to get time. 

in my /etc/ntp.conf I have changed the following lines:

##
## Outside source of synchronized time
##
## server xx.xx.xx.xx           # IP address of server
server ntp-uh.usno.navy.mil

TO:

##
## Outside source of synchronized time
##
## server xx.xx.xx.xx           # IP address of server
server now.cis.okstate.edu

BUT, when I try to do a restart on xntp it is still trying to use the old 
server:

# ./xntpd stop
Shutting network time protocol daemon (NTPD)                                                                
done
# ./xntpd start
Try to get initial date and time via NTP from ntp-uh.usno.navy.milError : Name 
or service not known
                                                                                                            failed
Starting network time protocol daemon (NTPD)                                                                
done

Anyone know how to make this use the new server for time/date lookup????

BTW, I have also tried with the I.P. address of the new server and that 
doesn't work either.
Thanks,
Darrell
