Hi, I am trying to use Linux NTP server for time sync with my target in unicast mode. This target has the sntp client version 4 as per RFC 2030. I tried to time sync using windows domain controller. With windows DC as time server, it works fine.
I have problem when using SUSE Linux as time server. When I try to use linux as time server, Linux replies with LI leap indicator flags set to "alarm condition (clock not synchronized)". As per RFC 2030, as unicast mode is used, as LI is 3, the reply is getting rejected. My Linux time server is standalone system. It is not getting time synched with external source. Could this the be the reason ? I tried to use the Linux time server as client. But even in this case too, Linux request has the Leap indicator value set to 3. Can you please tell me what could be wrong ? What exactly is meant by ""alarm condition (clock not synchronized)" ? How to make use of Linux NTP server correctly ? Is it related to configuration issue ? Do I need to use a particular stratum ?
