Hey now. You're close.
1st off) Fix you MShaft outlook express to send straight text,
not base64 encoded, if you want to make life easier for
people to help you. Your messege is "encrypted" so to speak,
and it's pain to revert it. Ok I feel better, now. :)

2nd) No it didn't update. If it did, the log file
would have an entries like this:

3rd) As you can imagine, most of your ntp.conf
is incorrect for your setup. There may be
a crucial missing command.
4th) So here's on I use on Unix :)
=================================
# ntp.conf
server clock.isc.org
server clock.via.net
server 192.5.41.41
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 5
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
broadcastclient no
enable pll monitor stats
disable auth bclient
statistics loopstats peerstats
======================================
The first few 4 lines are easy enough to understand.
The next command, `server 127.127.1.0' is the special timeserver server
IP address of the localhost internal clock on my Unix box. I'm not sure
how you would specify that on a Linux box. Maybe 127.0.0.1 is what Linux
uses. You could find out easily enough by searching the web. Xnptd needs
an address for the localclock in case it can't reach the other timeservers
when your network goes down. That let's it still keep time.
The localtimeserver is fudged on the next line, 'fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 5',
which defines the localhost clock to be 5 levels less accurate than the atomic
time servers that define the time worldwide, the stratum 1 severs. The net
servers I listed are stratum 1 and stratum 2. They will be used before servers
with a stratum > 2.
The driftfile you know about.
The 'broadcastclient no' line tells xntpd not to discover other servers
on your LAN by listening for their broadcasts.
The enable line is optional and enables various server options
that I use to gather statistics.
The disable line disables authentication that uses keys and keyfiles.
It also disabled broadcast client discovery associations. Depending on
the defaults compiled into xntpd, you may need this line, becuase keys
are a hassle and complicate the initial rollout.
The statistics line is optional.
5th) Restrict inbound access to the timeserver port using shorewall.
6th) Use the ntp.conf 'restrict' lines only once you get everything
else working right.
7th) linuxrouter crossposting removed because Dave Cinege sucks ass.
Good luck,
matthew
