I've been struggling with ntp for some time now. I've followed the |
| 2 |
gentoo wiki HOWTO for ntp: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_MythTV#NTP |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
As well as many other sources over the months. Basically, ntpq |
| 7 |
shows that I am not synchronized to any peers: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
# ntpq -p |
| 10 |
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter |
| 11 |
============================================================================== |
| 12 |
Time4.Stupi.SE .PPS. 1 u 37 64 377 124.516 -11202. 1225.91 |
| 13 |
thesimonet.org .TRUE. 1 u 38 64 377 109.329 -11213. 1232.51 |
| 14 |
fin.rshell.net 192.114.62.249 3 u 32 64 377 205.910 -9569.1 1521.31 |
| 15 |
titan.cais.rnp. 32.233.177.224 2 u 44 64 377 165.240 -11991. 1915.26 |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
That first space in the peers list is a tally mark that, according to |
| 18 |
the ntpq documentation at: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/ntpq.html |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Means that those peers are all rejected: "The peer is discarded as |
| 23 |
unreachable, synchronized to this server (synch loop) or outrageous |
| 24 |
synchronization distance." |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Likewise: |
| 27 |
# ntpq -c rv | grep stratum |
| 28 |
processor="i686", system="Linux/2.6.14-gentoo-r5", leap=11, stratum=16, |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I should be at stratum 3, not 16 (which means I'm not synchronized |
| 31 |
to anything). |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
My /etc/ntp.conf: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
tinker panic 0 |
| 36 |
minpoll 4 |
| 37 |
maxpoll 10 |
| 38 |
server pool.ntp.org |
| 39 |
server 0.pool.ntp.org |
| 40 |
server 1.pool.ntp.org |
| 41 |
server 2.pool.ntp.org |
| 42 |
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift |
| 43 |
logfile /var/log/ntp.log |
| 44 |
restrict default nomodify nopeer |
| 45 |
restrict 127.0.0.1 |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Nothing special there! To further clarify, I actually have this |
| 49 |
problem on *two* machines. FWIW, I've also tried the OpenBSD |
| 50 |
OpenNTP package, but haven't had any luck with that either (except |
| 51 |
on my OpenBSD machine!). Using OpenNTP on these two machines |
| 52 |
*seemed* to work fine, but the computers still gained time too |
| 53 |
quickly. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
I've been fighting this for what seems like forever. If anyone has |
| 56 |
any insight or thoughts, I'm happy to hear it! |
| 57 |
|

Thanks, |
