RH 62, RH72, and RH73 all up to date. Have a ntp server which queries internet time serves, this is a RH62 system, that serves as a time server to the private network. I'm upgrading this system to RH80 so I am moving services to other servers in the transition.
Have a RH72 system and configured the ntp.conf to get its time from the same systems that RH62 was getting them from. ntptrace <RH72 system> reveals that it is in fact getting time from one of those internet time servers. Seems to be working. I tried to do a manual check on a workstation (RH73) using: rdate -s <RH72 system> But this responded as connection refused. Hmm... so I check xinetd, which has a time and a time-udp config file in /etc/xinetd.d directory. These both were disabled so I enabled them and now the rdate command above works. However, now I realize that what I thought I new about ntp is off a bit. So I plead for anyone to set me straight. How do I check that my clients are getting time correctly from <RH72 system>. The config file, ntp.conf is a non complex config file. I had thought that rdate used ntp but that doesn't seem to be the case. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
