hi everyone

i've installed ntpd to sync my machines
i've read the docu on www.ntp.org

is there better documentation than that
in all those pages i didn't found how i can check
or i am running ntpd wright
and how to sync my clock
maybe i haven't been reading right because
after a bit i got a headache from it

could someone help me??

Try "ntpq -p"

when i tried i got the messages

No association ID's returned

what does it mean ?

thx for your reply

No idea what it _means_ but that's also the message I get if I try "ntpq" immediately after starting up ntp. Give it a few minutes and try again.

will i think i killed ntpd but after reinstalling the package on the red hat CD
i got this after putting 4 servers in it
