We have an ntp server running on "server3", to which three other machines sync: "server1", "server2", and "server6".
servers 1 and 2 sync correctly to server3. server6 is a new machine that we are having troubles getting to sync (and stay synced). Basically, from server6, we can run "ntpdate server3". Then we start the ntp daemon on server6. Using "ntpdate -d server3" and/or "ntpq -p", we can watch the offset between server6 and 3 slowly creep upwards. Today, within about a 10 minute window, the offset drifted up to about 50ms. A rapid increase in offset seemed to correlate with heavy CPU load. We are still doing testing to determine the specifics of the problem. Has anyone seen anything similar to this? We're not particularly well versed with ntp, so we're not even sure if we're testing things correctly! FWIW, this new machine is a Dell PowerEdge 1950 with dual quad-core CPUs. Thank you for any assistance! Matt _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
