Re: [CentOS] HOWTO Stratum 1 NTP server under CentOS 7

Hello everyone,

If anyone is interested, I have created a HOWTO on running a Motorola GPS receiver connected to a CentOS 7 box via serial port (com1), with 1PPS over DCD.

The trick here is that CentOS 7 uses systemd and setup was a bit different. Anyway, everything works.

The result is a highly accurate NTP server, Stratum 1.

Here is the documentation.

Let me know if something does not look right.

Hello George,

thanks for the interesting article.

Mind you one question: why did you replace the NTPd shipping with CentOS 7 by a source compilation? Is the NTPd version provided by CentOS lacking some important feature for that usecase?
