ntpd error - users - Fedora Mailing-Lists

Saturday, 19 May 2007

Hi
I tried to used ntpd to sync time, but always got a failure error:

[root@home]# /sbin/service ntpd restart
Shutting down ntpd:                                        [  OK  ]
ntpd: Synchronizing with time server:                      [FAILED]
Starting ntpd:                                             [  OK  ]

how to fix this?

the conf file reads as

# Permit time synchronization with our time source, but do not
# permit the source to query or modify the service on this system.
restrict default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery

# Permit all access over the loopback interface.  This could
# be tightened as well, but to do so would effect some of
# the administrative functions.
