Hello all,
I've installed openSUSE 10.2 on my machine and the clock is always slow, something like an hour back per day ( ! )
NTP is configured to run, and each time I restart NTP the clock is fine, only it looks as if it runs only on boot, and my machine being a linux machine, is rebooted once in a long time.
Checking the connection to the NTP server show that all is well (well, after all, if I run ntpdate <server> I get the real time
), but running ntpd -c peers will have the server there with no character to signify synchronization.
I came across this document -
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Time_Sync...gh_the_Network and tried to follow it to the letter, but I can't find my rc.config
so I can't find a place for the START_XNTPD and also couldn't find rcxntpd (though xntpd is installed)
Also, I assume the problem to be a hardware problem, since before the openSUSE installation I have had Fedora Core 6 installed and had the same problem. Tried configuring it through the BIOS but found no solution there.
I thought about croning the clock to synch with the NTP server every 15 min or so, but isn't that part of the NTP's job? Wouldn't that be an overkill?
Anyway, any comments / suggestions on how to solve this will be welcomed.
Cheers.
