that explains how I can configure a system to be an NTP server for other systems on a LAN?
It always is. Just point your other systems to it.
Yep, however what he really needs is just to use a server from the public ntp pool. ;)
Yeah, although it's not such a bad idea to have one system sync'ed to the pool, and the rest sync'ed to that system.
Exactly what I'm trying to do because I have a STB running Linux that when configured to use a public pool always fails to sync. When setting it up to a specific public server like time.nist.gov or time.mit.edu it randomly works or not. It seems to work no more than about once or twice a day, but typically needs rebooting multiple times a day to avoid catching video output corruption while attempting to record from it. When it fails on reboot it gets a 1999 date and 00:00 UTC time setting. I was hoping a local server would somehow be more reliable. When I set the STB to sync to the local hostname or IP of my local NTP, it always fails, and the output of 'tcpdump -n -i etho port 123' never sees anything incoming from the STB, while it is showing 140.99.51.114.123, which I would think my router should be blocking. Or could that be an IP via us.pool.ntp.org? I have no idea how the STB actually gets the date from the internet. It has no ntp command, no ntpd command, no tcpdump command, and no /etc/ntp.conf. A ntp server URL is fed into the GUI UI if auto sync from internet is selected. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
