Hi. Has anyone here used NTP to synchronize their times? I'm having some problems with it.. the ntpd is running, but the times are not syncing. On the client station, I added the line server IP_Address to the /etc/ntp.conf file. then turn on the ntpd service with "chkconfig ntpd on" and restarted the computer. I also rebooted the server. The ntpd is running when I do a ps -ef.

I used the command, "ntpq -c peers" to check if it's running correctly, and it prints:


remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
"IP_Address" 0.0.0.0 16 u 59 64 0 0.000 0.000 4000.00

and ntptrace says:

localhost.localdomain: stratum 16, offset 0.000014, synch distance 0.01534
0.0.0.0: *Not Synchronized*


Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or what else I need to do? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I think you should probably add a couple of time-servers from your part of the world. Have a look at www.ntp.org - they should have the info you need. It helped me when I set ntp up, but now that it works I forgot how exactly I did it.
