RE: correct way to set timezone clock/date? more info
Hmm, stranger stranger. I just tried the SAME ntpdate command on a machine INSIDE my network and it works just fine there so that eliminates as far as I can tell having a problem with the Cox external network access. The ntpdate command hangs only on the gateway system. -Original Message- From: Steven A.

(sort of) OK, I think I found the problem with ntpd not getting any peers from my server list. I was starting ntpd from the command line with the following syntax: ntpd -I eth0 -D 4 -n eth0 is my internal network. I got to looking at the no interface found for... messages and thought I would try adding a -I eth1 where eth1 is my external outside network connection through the Cox cable modem. So now my command syntax is: ntpd -u ntp -I eth0 -I eth1 -D 4 Once I added the -I eth1 I now seem to have the three external peers listed when I run ntpq -p This still does not explain why ntpdate hangs with no replies however. The ntpdate command sequence I used does not list anything other than the servers like this: ntpdate -v -d dewey.lib.ci.phoenix.az.us ntp.drydog.com no restrictions on the interface or anything so I am still not understanding why that does not work. Plus when I try to start the ntp service from the init script there is no restrictions on the interface like I was using from the command line. Anyway I think there is still some issue with the ntpdatge command hanging and since the ntp init script always calls ntpdate before starting ntpd I am still not going to be able to enable the ntp service on startup. Some progress has been made however. -- Steve --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
RE: correct way to set timezone clock/date? more info
OK, I ran the ntpdate command within strace and got the output attached. It seems to be sitting there polling for something and never receiving a reply. At least that is what I see. Anyone else see anything different? Or have any idea why the poll never completes or gets a result? And what exactly is it polling for? -- Steve ntpdate.strace Description: Binary data --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

Did you make the changes I suggested to the conf file ? -Original Message- From: plug-discuss-boun...@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-boun...@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Steven A.

RE: correct way to set timezone clock/date? more info
Umm, no ntpd seems to be working as expected (correctly?) now and as I said ntpdate is the only thing I have a problem now and that does not use the ntp.conf file at all. -Original Message- From: Bob Elzer bob.el...@gmail.com Sent: Aug 25, 2009 10:02 PM To: 'Steven A.
