The name may have changed slighty but the meaning/point is the same - that file is for use but the random redhat config tools, not by ntpd itself. Specify your upstream servers in /etc/ntp.conf like so: # http://twiki.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers server us.pool.ntp.org server us.pool.ntp.org server us.pool.ntp.org # backups just in case server ntp.ucsd.edu # (San Diego, CA) server ntp1.maincoon.com # (Quincy, CA) Then comment out those silly 127.127.* lines that are in there by default. This is for your master server; then simply point all your clients at this new master, and everything will be kosher. -te -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid, Inc | http://www.fluid.com
