I have installed xntpd but it will not keep the time as expected. When restarting it though, it resets the time correctly. Other hosts are able to get current time from this host. There is no log data when ntp is running, only when it's started and stopped.
It's probably working. :-) Try this running 'ntpq', and look at your "peers" list; it should give you a list of machines that it's in current contact with. I think that xntpd is pretty quite while it's running; it just does it's thing.
The problem is that is't not working. On all the machines it runs on the time is drifting. It drifts differently on all machines. On some it drifts a few seconds a months, on the worst hosts, it can be something like 5 to 10 minuts. If I restarts xntpd, it resets the time correctly, but thereafter it drifts slowly again. Bo
