So I seem to be very close.
It takes a while to synchronise properly. Give it time.
Your time would be closer to real time if you ran ntpdate before starting up ntpd though. If you create/edit the file /etc/ntp/step-tickers and have it contain the following lines:
time.nist.gov ns.arc.nasa.gov tick.usno.navy.mil
then the Fedora NTP initscript will try to synchronise time with one of those servers before starting ntpd, and your time will be better synchronised, more quickly.
Cheers, Paul.
Hi Paul,
Looks like it is working. I got the following output from ntpstat:
synchronised to local net at stratum 11 time correct to within 12 ms polling server every 64 s
Thanks for the advice on ntpdate. I've added that info to /etc/ntp/step-tickers.
I really appreciate your taking the time to help me here.
Thanks!
Mike
