Try NetworkManager first by disabling the network service with # chkconfig network off and then rebooting. Then # service NetworkManager status should tell you NetworkManager is running and # service network status should tell you network is not running. Then wait a few minutes and do ( it takes ntpd a few minutes to synchronise ) # /usr/sbin/ntpq -p If you see one of the time servers with an * in front of it then ntpd is working and synchronised to that server.
