NTP needs to run on all servers and workstations, use the real ntp not the one bundled with AFS. Use the --nosettime switch to disable ntp in the AFS server.
To keep your ISP happy, suggest pointing one or two AFS servers at 2 of the the nearest Cicso routers and point the remainder of the local boxes at the AFS servers (typically time should come from at least 2 servers in case one fails). The standard max time skew in AFS is 5 min. (its actually Kerberos that requires it). You'll be within less than a second. tedc -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lars Schimmer Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 8:03 AM To: openafs-info@openafs.org Subject: [OpenAFS] Time on AFS-cell -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, it's me again... Now a question about time in the AFS cell. My partner here told me, in the AFS cell should only one database-server enabled ntp, all other should have ntp disabled. Now I assume, if all clients has ntp enabled, all client has the same time and so they are snyced with the AFS-cell-time. But we see here some time-shifts on clients. So, what's the best way with OpenAFS 1.3.74++ ? And another quick: in RedHat packages, where can I find the option for memcache and for diasable the AFS time?
