Folks;
trying to set up a local NTP server using the ntp-server package on
Dapper, so far I constantly fail:
- Installing and configuring ntp-server seems to make the server run
well on the machine it is supposed to run on. So far, so good. ntpq
shows peers the machine is connected to. Fine.
- Trying to use ntpdate to that machine from another host, however,
does not work, always ending up with a "no server can be used. exiting".
- Likewise, having ntp-server installed on another machine and making
the first (supposed-to-be-LAN-wide-ntp-) server machine the default
server to synchronize with, there, I don't get any meaningful results:
(machine 1: "local ntp server")
ntpq> peers
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset
jitter
==============================================================================
+fiordland.ubunt 193.79.237.14 2 u 47 64 77 36.003 58.381
32.598
*chime2.surfnet. .GPS. 1 u 2 64 177 27.645 36.230
53.241
localhost .INIT. 16 l - 64 0 0.000 0.000
4000.00
(machine 2: "local client")
ntpq> peers
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset
jitter
==============================================================================
192.168.10.253 .INIT. 16 u 69 256 0 0.000 0.000
4000.00
Messing with the "restrict" options in ntp.conf on the server doesn't
really change things here, unfortunately. And it also seems ntp-server
doesn't provide any sort of meaningful log output, making things a lot
worse. Can anyone help me outta here? Is anything broken or am I just
too stupid?
Thanks in advance and bye,
Kristian
