NTP on Red Hat 8.0
I have tried to configure NTP on Red Hat, WITHOUT, mind you GUI intervention. Unfortunately, I'm lost.
I edited the /etc/ntp.conf file to have only the following:
server now.okstate.edu
fudge now.okstate.edu stratum 1
I changed my time to be 11:00AM (it's not 11:00AM). Then I started ntp:
/etc/init.d/ntpd start
The time changes to the correct time. HOWEVER, I removed the lines from /etc/ntp.conf. Then I stopped NTP:
/etc/init.d/ntpd stop
Then I changed my time to be 11:00AM again. THen restarted ntp:
/etc/init.d/ntpd start
Lo and behold, the time was changed to the correct time! Where is ntp getting its time if I don't specify NTP servers? HELP!
