My system clock is running extremely fast... so fast that even |
| 2 |
openntpd (apparently) can't catch up! |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
I tried (oh how I tried) to get the "regular" ntp package to work. |
| 5 |
I could correct my clock using ntpdate, but I could never get ntpd |
| 6 |
to sync with any servers (see notes (*) below). |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
So I got fed up with trying to get it to work, and thought I'd have |
| 9 |
better luck with openntpd (which is much simpler). |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
As far as I can tell, openntpd *is* working, as I have many lines in my |
| 12 |
syslog that look like this: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Aug 31 17:00:36 [ntpd] adjusting local clock by -344.003180s |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
However, the clock is still drifting---not as fast as it does with no |
| 17 |
ntp daemon running, but noticeably (it's gained about 5 minutes in less |
| 18 |
than 24 hours). Note that without any ntp daemon running, my clock will |
| 19 |
gain about 10 minutes per hour! |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I have a hunch that whatever prevented the "regular" ntpd from syncing |
| 22 |
is preventing openntpd from properly keeping the clock in sync. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
So, my questions are: (1) what would cause my clock to run so fast? And |
| 25 |
(2) why can't any ntp daemon keep correct time? |
| 26 |

Thanks, |

(*) If anyone is interested in the plight I had with ntp, here is some |
| 33 |
info: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
This is what my /etc/ntp.conf looked like: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
restrict 127.0.0.1 nomodify |
| 38 |
server pool.ntp.org prefer |
| 39 |
server 0.pool.ntp.org |
| 40 |
server 1.pool.ntp.org |
| 41 |
server 2.pool.ntp.org |
| 42 |
server 127.127.1.1 |
| 43 |
fudge 127.127.1.1 stratum 10 |
| 44 |
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift |
| 45 |
logfile /var/log/ntpd.log |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
After starting ntpd, and waiting a while, ntpq results looked like |
| 48 |
this: |

|
| 50 |
