Amazing how these very important aspects of the server just go bad all a sudden. You kind of appreciate Nortel at times... r...@pbx:/sbin $ service ntpd restart Shutting down ntpd: [ OK ] Starting ntpd: [ OK ] r...@pbx:/sbin $ clock Tue 01 Jun 2010 09:55:49 PM EDT -0.000717 seconds Seems it didn't do the trick either. I am guessing something in the configs is wrong even though I didn't change anything. -Bruce > Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 17:18:35 -0400 > From: aggib...@cogeco.ca > To: het...@hotmail.com > CC: asterisk@uc.org > Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] What could do an automatic Date and Time change on > CentOS? > > Just a footnote, > > ntpd will not update the time if the offset is more than 1000 seconds. > e.g. the clock is more than 15 minutes off. > > You have to stop ntpd, run ntpdate, restart ntpd. > > regards, > > Drew > > > > Bruce N wrote: > > Thanks for the input both to Lloyd and Rafael, > > > > > > > > This is not a VPs and it's real Quad Core server. > > > > > > > > I just did a "service ntpd statud" and it shows running.
