Hi all,
I have troubles with a server getting time right. On boot the time is synchronized with the ntp-server of my ISP (xntpd is started at boot). After that nothing seems to be done any more. This machine has a clock, that runs about half an hour behind in 24 hours, so timesync is something, that could be usefull :-)
What do I miss??

rather timely shall we say???
One thing, did you create a driftfile for your service to calculate drift rate??? and the other, are you on dialup and are not running ntpdate everytime you connect to the internet???
the article will tell you how and why...
Indeed really helpfull. And the suggestion Gary gave by saying that it might be a firewall issue hit the nail: udp123 was open on the outside, but not from inside-out. Opening up made the peers appear. The article helps to tweak the system. I think it works OK now. Thank you guys :-)
