Hi,
I have a problem with ntp clients randomly getting a "no server suitable for synchronization found".
It happens on some servers of the subnet, while at the same time, other servers within the same subnet are updating fine.
Then just a little later, the situation is just reversed. The problem comes and goes...
So it is not a firewall issue, it sometimes works, and UDP on 123 is open in both directions.
Below is a snapshot from one server, these commands were typed in this order, nothing else in between - the first one doesnt work,
the second one does...
I tried "-d" in between for debug, but I noticed that the man pages show the -d option twice, once for debug and once for using
non-privileged ports, so I am not sure if it actually does a debug or not...
I ran iptraf on the server and is looks like there is no traffic coming in when the "no server suitable for synchronization found"
error comes back. But I don't really know why! My network has a pretty low load, so that should not be the issue...
Any idea what could cause this???
Oh... btw - the clients are the latest FC3, all RPMs that are installed are up2date, server is redhat 9, this one is not so
up2date...
Thanks,
MARK
