Hi
We are using cloud based Red hat 5.5 Tikanga OS.
After installing the ntp (ntp-4.2.2p1-15.el5_7.1
and starting the ntpd process I can see multiple processes are running.
I can see processesare adding after every hour,
Below is a snapshot,
[root@sandbox2 subsys]# ps -eaf | grep ntpd
ntp 25589 1 0 15:05 ? 00:00:00 ntpd -u ntp:ntp -p
/var/run/ntpd.pid -g
root 30021 1 0 16:00 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/ntpd -c 'timeout 1000' -c
sysinfo -c sysstats -c peers
Syslogs are as below,
