Hi, I've started ntpd with the -x option and defined at run-time (using ntpdc) 3 servers. The client machine has an offset of +/- 2s with the ntp servers. In the NTP log file I find the following statements (extracted out of a total of 98):
9 Apr 07:46:13 ntpd[19257]: time slew 1.781571 s 9 Apr 08:01:16 ntpd[19257]: time slew 1.781200 s 9 Apr 08:17:21 ntpd[19257]: time slew 1.781085 s 9 Apr 08:32:33 ntpd[19257]: time slew 1.781807 s 9 Apr 08:48:37 ntpd[19257]: time slew 1.782273 s 9 Apr 09:04:38 ntpd[19257]: time slew 1.781004 s 9 Apr 09:19:42 ntpd[19257]: time slew 1.781344 s 9 Apr 09:34:46 ntpd[19257]: time slew 1.780407 s 9 Apr 09:49:50 ntpd[19257]: time slew 1.778824 s The times don't seem to converge. When I shut down the ntp daemon and try to slew the time using ntpdate with the -B option it does work. The time difference with the ntp servers gradually declines. We use Suse SLES10 (kernel version: 2.6.16). Does anybody have an idea on what's going wrong?
