Re: [CentOS] NTP

That seems a little too easy - yet there it is running now.

chkconfig --level 3 ntpd on

I guess some things just work right out of the box. thx!

The default settings should be pretty good. I believe it uses pool.ntp.org http://pool.ntp.org by default, which is a big list of ntp servers of stratum 2 (and possibly 3?) servers. Running the ntpd service is probably the best way to do it. 'service ntpd start' should be all that is need. If you clock is more than a minute or two out to begin with, you may need to issue a 'ntpd -q -g'.

Ok.  I'm looking at a client that needs to keep their server time
close as reasonably possible (within a minute) of the actual time
of day.  I've installed the RPM for NTP and I'm looking for tips
on what the simplest setup should be, ie:
What server(s) should I be using for sync?
Should I just run it from a cron every 20 minutes or so?

thx.
