I suggest that you start with the server and _one_ client. Once you have that working then you can implement your manycast-orphan cloud. And, before you start, comment out your restrict lines. > disable auth Don't do this. Just use symmetric key authentication. Each of the many cast systems needs a common ntp.keys file. Something like this will work: --------8X-------- 1 M my_lame_password --------8X-------- Then each system needs the following lines in ntp.conf: --------8X-------- keys /etc/ntp.keys trustedkey 1 So the the client needs: # Manycast client ntp.conf # driftfile /some/where/ntp.drift keys /etc/ntp.keys trustedkey 1 manycastclient 224.0.1.1 key1 --------8X-------- And the server needs: --------8X-------- # Manycast server ntp.conf # driftfile /some/where/ntp.drift keys /etc/ntp.keys trustedkey 1 manycastserver 224.0.1.1 server ... iburst server ... iburst server ... iburst server ... iburst --------8X-------- When you decide to create a cloud replace the single manycast* line on all of the systems with: --------8X-------- tos orphan 8 manycastclient 224.0.1.1 key 1 manycastserver 224.0.1.1 --------8X-------- Also ensure that your routing table shows (Linux shown below): Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 224.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 -- Steve Kostecke <koste...@ntp.org> NTP Public Services Project - http://support.ntp.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
