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??
Could be a link typo I discovered a while back. Search for ntp in the Dec 2003 archives for the entire post. -------------------------- The following shows the typo: space:/var/lib/ntp # pwd /var/lib/ntp space:/var/lib/ntp # ls -l drwxr-xr-x 2 ntp nogroup 80 2003-12-04 08:59 drift drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 104 2003-11-20 12:37 etc drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 96 2003-11-12 16:15 var space:/var/lib/ntp # ls -l var/lib/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2003-11-12 16:15 BADntp -> ../. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 2003-12-03 17:49 ntp -> ../.. Notice that BADntp is a link to ../. while the fix links to ../.. That's two dots after the slash. With the link set to ../.. it works as described in the manual.
