I had this working many moons ago, but with new upgrades/installs, it's all been lost and I can't remember what I did (but I know it's not that hard -- that's why it's driving me crazy).
So here's what I've got going on: - ntp installed on all of my machines - ntp configured on fileserver to sync to external time server (doesn't stay synced, however). - ntp configured on remaining nodes to sync with fileserver who is supposed to allow that But what's happening is that the ntp on the fileserver will start up, sync with the external time server, but down the line, the time begins to drift and according to my syslog, there were never any more attempts to keep time synced (ntp-4.1.0-1mdk installed on every one of them). And on the local clients, in my /etc/ntp.conf, I've got 10.1.1.3 (the IP for the fileserver) set for the server. That never worked so I stuck it in my /etc/ntp/step-tickers and still, no love. Here's what I get: ntpdate[13387]: no server suitable for synchronization found I portscanned the fileserver and 123 isn't even open (shouldn't it be listening on that port?). When I do a 'ps auxw |grep ntp' on the fileserver, all I've got is 'ntp -A'. Should there be anything else in order to allow other nodes to sync? So what am I missing here? I'm all out of ideas.
