Talking ntp problems....


Hi all, I have two Sol unix boxes (5.8) that I am TRYING to setup as an NTP server.The ntp.conf is set up as simple as I can set it.
i.e
server 130.159.196.118
server ntp.cs.strath.ac.uk

I startup the /etc/init.d/xntp start manually and then startup
the xntp on my client the same way. It's ntp.conf once again

server 128.1.4.159 prefer

driftfile /var/ntp/ntp.drift

once I try to query the ntp server with #ntpdate -q <server ip ad>

the error I get is
skirlie # ntpdate -q 128.1.3.159
server 128.1.3.159, stratum 0, offset 0.000000, delay 0.00000
7 Apr 16:12:51 ntpdate[12297]: no server suitable for synchronization found

I have tried everything thing that I can possibly think of and would appreciate any assistance. I all internal hosts can see
each other and I can ping the external ntp server......

Rob.

I don't know about xntp, I run ntpd. ntpdate will error when the ntp daemon is running, so it might be the same with xntp. Stop it on the client, run ntpdate to update the time, then restart xntp to keep the time in check.
