Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] Clock Speed (not CPU)

[Kevin Geiss]

when you ran ntp, did you tell it some servers to use? you want to find around 
4 or 5 stratum 2 time servers to use.
check out this thread for more detail:

ntp only posts in its log when it actually adjusts the clock.

you can also run 'ntpq -p' to see what it's doing. it will list the time 
servers you put in the ntp.conf file, and it will put '+' and '*' in front of 
the ones it is using to adjust the local clock.

when you run /etc/init.d/ntpd start, it will run ntpdate once using the 
servers you specify in /etc/conf.d/ntp-client to set the clock once, then it 
will start the ntp daemon to keep it correct after that.

you can't run ntpdate while ntpd is running.
