By "large time differences" I meant between different servers on the network. We ran ntpd out of cron every couple of hours without problem on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 for a few years. When we upgraded to RHEL 6 we noticed the clocks on different machines could differ by several seconds between ntpd runs, wreaking havoc on our log analysis tools. Perhaps if we increased the frequency of the cronjobs to every 15 minutes as suggested by NASA it wouldn't be so bad, but we decided to run ntpd continuously on every machine. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
