NTP syncing

[Mike McMullen]

Hi All,

I am trying to get ntp to sync with an ntp server without much luck on FC2.

I have the following servers defined in /etc/ntp.conf

server  time.nist.gov prefer
server  ns.arc.nasa.gov prefer
server  tick.usno.navy.mil prefer

My FC2 system time is set within one minute of two other servers I have
using ntp; one RH7.3 and another FC1.

I've set the FC2 time by hand. When I start ntp I see the following
message in my /var/log/messages log.

Sep 19 22:12:29 www ntpd[3183]: ntpd 4.2.0(a)1.1161-r Thu Mar 11 11:46:39 EST 2004 (1)
Sep 19 22:12:29 www ntpd[3183]: precision = 1.000 usec
Sep 19 22:12:29 www ntpd: ntpd startup succeeded
Sep 19 22:12:29 www ntpd[3183]: no IPv6 interfaces found
Sep 19 22:12:29 www ntpd[3183]: kernel time sync status 0040
Sep 19 22:12:30 www ntpd[3183]: frequency initialized 0.000 PPM from /var/lib/ntp/drift

Any insight appreciated!

Mike
