Hello, I am running FC4 with ntp-4.2.0.a.20040617-8, which I think is the latest. I have selinux disabled. When starting ntpd it fails to sync with timeserver with the message: ntpd: Synchronizing with time server: FAILED Running ntpdate -d clock2.redhat.com the output is: ------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@fc4host ~]# ntpdate -d clock2.redhat.com 22 Sep 18:59:00 ntpdate[7023]: ntpdate 4.2.0a@xxxxxxxx Thu Apr 14 07:47:27 EDT 2005 (1) Looking for host clock2.redhat.com and service ntp host found : clock2.redhat.com transmit(66.187.224.4) receive(66.187.224.4) transmit(66.187.224.4) receive(66.187.224.4) transmit(66.187.224.4) receive(66.187.224.4) transmit(66.187.224.4) receive(66.187.224.4) transmit(66.187.224.4) server 66.187.224.4, port 123 stratum 1, precision -16, leap 00, trust 000 refid [CDMA], delay 0.30542, dispersion 0.00154 transmitted 4, in filter 4 reference time: c6dd2ffb.1b589efd Thu, Sep 22 2005 18:58:27.106 originate timestamp: c6dd3009.9ae5abc0 Thu, Sep 22 2005 18:58:41.605 transmit timestamp: c6dd301f.88649906 Thu, Sep 22 2005 18:59:03.532 filter delay: 0.30655 0.30766 0.30542 0.32222 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 filter offset: -22.0699 -22.0708 -22.0714 -22.0765 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 delay 0.30542, dispersion 0.00154 offset -22.071461 22 Sep 18:59:03 ntpdate[7023]: step time server 66.187.224.4 offset -22.071461 sec ------------------------------------------------------------------- Running ntptrace The output is: [root@fc4host ~]# ntptrace clock2.redhat.com clock2.redhat.com: stratum 1, offset 0.000000, synch distance 0.000325, refid 'CDMA' ------------------------------------------------------------------- But still ntpd does not syncs with a time server.
