ntpd logs through syslog to /var/log/messages The most useful command will probably be ntpdc. There should be information under /usr/share/doc. (I'm running a later version on RH 7.2, so I can't be sure of the exact file names.) Briefly, running ntpdc on the Linux client and giving the "sysinfo" command will show you the system peer (should be your server) and the stratum (should be one greater than the stratum of your server). Make sure you aren't synchronized to the local clock instead of the server. That can happen if the local clock "fudge" sets stratum to too small a value in /etc/ntp.conf. -- David Lupo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
