Re: ntp daemon.
Okay, at first we need to ntp.conf. Please run cat /etc/ntp.conf and paste here the results. Check your firewall with 'iptables -L' command and also run this 'netstat -tulpn|grep ntp'. Please, paste here every command output.

The important thing to know is that NTP uses UDP rather than TCP. E.g. machines from my university cannot use remote NTP servers because all UDP traffic is filtered away (they do have local NTP server which get synchronized with remote server, of course). So you need outbound UDP port 123 open (inbound is only if you want other machines to be able to synchronize with yours).

Re: ntp daemon.
you don't have to open port on your router because if you reach internet (without firewall on your system) every ntp packet to get to the right place. now should run stop ntpd ntpdate something server and check ntpq -p and start ntpd again. Now, it has to work.

The important thing to know is that NTP uses UDP rather than TCP. E.g. machines from my university cannot use remote NTP servers because all UDP traffic is filtered away (they do have local NTP server which get synchronized with remote server, of course). So you need outbound UDP port 123 open (inbound is only if you want other machines to be able to synchronize with yours).

It has the advantage that, for boxes with an intermittant internet connection, it can track the rate of time differential between the local system and the ntp server and adjust the time incrementally while the box is not online, thus keeping the local time more accurate at such times. :~$ apt-cache show chrony Package: chrony Priority: extra Section: admin Installed-Size: 796 Maintainer: John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Architecture: i386 Version: 1.20-8 Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.2.ds1-21), libncurses5 (= 5.4-1), libreadline4 (= 4.3-1) Conflicts: ntp, ntpsimple, ntprefclock Filename: pool/main/c/chrony/chrony_1.20-8_i386.deb Size: 323020 MD5sum: 715ca8920bbf1c55e13730ed6a7ee6d4 SHA1: 26ac59b4ef03ce024564df5e82d283f76ab56bbb SHA256: 94a3a50c1d50a7dfea7274a7a78803946a602ef2132cfadcc220cfbd06e24dca Description: Sets your computer's clock from time servers on the Net It consists of a pair of programs : `chronyd'. This is a daemon which runs in background on the system. It obtains measurements (e.g. via the network) of the system's offset relative to other systems, and adjusts the system time accordingly. For isolated systems, the user can periodically enter the correct time by hand (using `chronyc'). In either case, `chronyd' determines the rate at which the computer gains or loses time, and compensates for this. Chronyd implements the NTP protocol and can act as either a client or a server. `chronyc'. This is a command-line driven control and monitoring program. An administrator can use this to fine-tune various parameters within the daemon, add or delete servers etc whilst the daemon is running. -- Marc Shapiro No boom today. Boom tomorrow.

I'm testing openntpd but I've this error message: adjtime failed: Invalid argument Could someone help me or suggest something? Thanks aptitude install ntp-server and off you go. I believe it's now called just `ntp'. In etch/testing, yes, it's just ntp. In sarge/stable, there are a confusing array of ntp* packages. In etch I recommend just ntp. Do not install ntpdate with ntp in etch unless you really know what you're doing. The functionality that used to be offered by ntpdate[*] has been subsumed into the ntp package by adding the -g option to the ntpd daemon. Adding ntpdate on top will just confuse things in obscure ways. For sarge, I recommend installing both ntpdate and ntp-simple. The ntpdate package will do a one-time adjustment at bootup, and the ntp-simple package (which depends on the ntp-server package which has the real meat) will keep the clock in sync on a long-term basis after bootup. Either setup should just work right out of the box[**]. In both cases, it should be able to cope well with intermittent internet connectivity. If you want to know more about the details, and there are *lots* of fascinating details, add the ntp-doc package. Enjoy! Rick [*] the ntpdate program (and the -g option to etch's ntpd daemon) does a one-time adjustment of the system clock, usually at system startup --- that works regardless of how far off the system clock is. This may possibly be needed due to an extended internet outage or power failure or a dying cmos battery. [**] If you're interested in keeping your system clock synced with sub-millisecond accuracy, you'll need to tune the configuration file in /etc/ntp.conf. Most people don't care, and can get by just fine with the default configuration. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
