I studied the thread about rdate and xntpd with high interest. My problem is that I have to sysadmin a heterogenous unix network with 2 Linux time servers with dcf77 atomic clocks. Both machines are running xntpd 3.4. A couple of clients wants to get the correct time from these servers. Running xntpd on all machines is a bad solution (is it?) because the machines are shut down every night and sometimes during a day. I understand xntpd as a long term philosophie but what I need is a quick time correction every day. The problem: when I start ntpdate on a time client (after killing the xtnpd process) and run ntpdate TIMESERVER I always get the message: no timeserver found for synchronization. A year ago with xntpd 3.3 this worked fine. Running xntpd on all machines again basicly works but is not a good solution. Any hints from the time gurus ? thx berni -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | Please respond to: Bernhard.Ernst@giessen.netsurf.de | | or: berni@troia.rhein-neckar.de | | and to nothing else ! | -----------------------------------------------------------
