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
