Hello all,
After reboot, one of my servers running CentOS5 no longer keeps its clock synced automatically. ntpd is running and I don't see anything weird being logged. If I kick off ntpd with 'ntpd -q', it will sync the clock. However, if I just rely on ntpd started with 'service ntpd start', syncing does not happen.
I previously had:
# Undisciplined Local Clock. This is a fake driver intended for backup # and when no outside source of synchronized time is available. server 127.127.1.0 # local clock fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
and noticed that ntpd would fail down to using the undisciplined local clock if I checked with ntpstat. I commented those out, and now ntpstat simply says:
unsynchronised time server re-starting polling server every 64
Any idea as to why ntpd -q will sync, but otherwise the clock will not stay in sync even when the local clock drifts by several minutes? It worked fine prior to reboot.
Thanks,
Ryan
