Hey, I have testing the following scenario
* Configured ntp server (1) to sync with other ntp server(2)- all is working well * Stoping ntpd service on server 2 * I was accepting that once ntp server (1) will have reach value=0, the tally code (*) will be removed, and orphan mode will be available * It seems like only if the ntpd is restarted , the orphan mode is activated * I would like to be able to activate orphan mode without restarting the service! ntp server (1) configuration : # Permit time synchronization with our time source, but do not # permit the source to query or modify the service on this system. restrict default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery restrict -6 default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery # Permit all access over the loopback interface. This could # be tightened as well, but to do so would effect some of # the administrative functions. restrict 127.0.0.1 restrict -6 ::1 # Hosts on local network are less restricted. #restrict 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap # Use public servers from the pool.ntp.org project. # Please consider joining the pool (http://www.pool.ntp.org/join.html). #server 0.centos.pool.ntp.org #server 1.centos.pool.ntp.org #server 2.centos.pool.ntp.org server 172.16.10.141 iburst #broadcast 192.168.1.255 key 42 # broadcast server #broadcastclient # broadcast client #broadcast 224.0.1.1 key 42 # multicast server #multicastclient 224.0.1.1 # multicast client #manycastserver 239.255.254.254 # manycast server #manycastclient 239.255.254.254 key 42 # manycast client # Undisciplined Local Clock.
