ntp advice plzzzz
Hello,
I have 3 redhat 8.0 and one solaris 8.0 in my LAN. i want all my 3 redhat machines to synchrinize time with solaris 8.0 using NTP. Now what i have done is in the ntp.conf of all the 4 machines entered the ip address of solaris machine and started ntp service. when i give ntpdate -q solaris_ip it returns the o/p with 0.0245 delay. Is this right what i have done or do i need to follow something else to synchronize redhat machines with solaris machine using ntp. kindly advice . I am new to NTP concept. Thanks in advance. |
ntpdate is fine, but if you have the demons
running you shouldn't be able to run it in the first place... Cheers, Tink |
hmmm i didn't get u, can u plz eloborate, u mean i shd not run deamon on my redhat machines???
|
The demon is fine, just if it's running
ntpdate should give you an error. Cheers, Tink |
Iam v new for this... if i want my linux to synchronize time with solaris shd the deamon be running or nor on linux?
|
depends how you want to do it really, personally i do run ntpd on the client machines, as this keeps track of any drifts constantly rather than every time ntptimeset or whatever is actually run, manually or via a cron job etc...
