Re: ntpd date sync before service startup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello,
in system-config-date i have checkbox synchronize date before service
startup.
Which config switch,file does it affect? I want to turn it on on my CentOS
machine without xauth , just editing config files , i was hoping it could be
in /etc/sysconfig/ntpd but no.

ok ... I do not see exactly where, but it seems that somewhere a -x switch is set and the file /etc/ntp/step-tickers gets the server name to sync from.

I do no see a -x switch anywhere though

the -x switch is part of the init script. it isn't actually handled by ntpd. the init script will use step-tickers if it has entries, or pull the server lines from ntp.conf, and then invoke ntpdate with the list it figures out.
