NTP configuration not recognized?
- by Eugene S
I'm trying to configure NTP on my machine but it seems that the parameters I set are not being read by the system. Below is my /etc/ntp.conf file. (I applied the most basic configuration to eliminate other issues)
server 10.45.68.47
server 127.0.0.1
After I set the above configuration, I restart the ntpd process by doing the following:
service ntpd restart
And then I get the following output:
Shutting down ntpd: [ OK ]
ntpd: Synchronizing with time server: [FAILED]
Starting ntpd: [ OK ]
Moreover, I can see the following in /var/etc/messages:
Apr 2 10:54:07 hsystem1a ntpd[21067]: ntpd exiting on signal 15
Apr 2 10:54:07 hsystem1a ntpdate[21537]: can't find host ntpServer1
Apr 2 10:54:07 hsystem1a ntpdate[21537]: can't find host ntpServer2
Apr 2 10:54:07 hsystem1a ntpdate[21537]: no servers can be used, exiting
So it seems that the ntpServer1 and the ntpServer2 are being read from somewhere instead of the IPs I configured in /etc/ntp.conf.
NOTE: I done init 6 on the machine just in case.
Thanks!
