Dear Sir/Madam I am a newbie to the ntp protocol. I read about this and try accumulate some aspect about it Please let me whether I am right or wrong.
NTP is a protocol which helps in synchronising our system clock with respect to a reference clock. So what I tried taken three system in a LAN which have all the xntpd installed in it. All the related utilities also present like ( ntpq , ntpdc etc..) Taken one system (say A (131.222.32.232) ) configured the ntp.conf file by putting one entry like : peer 131.222.32.3 peer 131.222.32.229 driftfile /etc/inet/ntp.drift Then other two systems has similarly ntp.conf file as follows : System B ( 131.222.32.3) server 131.222.32.232 driftfile /etc/inet/ntp.drift System C (131.222.32.229) server 131.222.32.232 driftfile /etc/inet/ntp.drift Then I started the deamon xntpd in the server with the debuging option on i.e. "-d". But I dont find the time of system B and C are not geting updated with that of System A ( server) The above assumption is mine. Because what I think System B and Sytem C will think Syetem A to be their server to update which it is not doing Any answer ???? _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.isc.org https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
