Well you are right. The init.d script does something that rewrites the
ntp.conf file. I don't understand enough bash to figure it out so I just
started ntp manually. It doesn't change the ntp.conf ;^)
But it doesn't work properly either ;^(
First of all this looks fishy:
[dha...@node0 /etc]$ ntpq -p
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
cogsworth.aero. .INIT. 16 u - 1024 0 0.000 0.000 0.000
dns.aero.org .INIT. 16 u - 1024 0 0.000 0.000 0.000
Those delay, offset, and jitter values are too good to be true and the other
machine won't connect:
[dha...@node1 ~]$ sudo ntpdate node0.rms01.wgs.sntb.aero.org
16 Sep 10:24:03 ntpdate[25389]: no server suitable for synchronization found
Hmmm...
