Hello everyone,

I have problem with time delaying on my CentOS powered server. I have tried to set time in BIOS and in OS (with saving time to BIOS), but time still delaying, so after month is about five minutes delayed. In past I was using this box with Windows and there wasn´t this time problem, but I cant warrant, that there are no hardware issues. So I was decided, that easiest way to fix this problem will be setting up the NTP. I have found many howtos, but I don´t believe them. So my question is: How to clearly set NTP in CentOS 5?


   # yum install ntp

then, edit /etc/ntp.conf, and at a minimum specify some ntp servers and restrict access to localhost...

   restrict 127.0.0.1
   restrict -6 ::1

   # Use public servers from the pool.ntp.org project.
   # Please consider joining the pool (http://www.pool.ntp.org/join.html).
   server ntp1.sf-bay.org
   server ntp2.sf-bay.org
   server reloj.kjsl.com
   server ntp1.mainecoon.com
   server ntp2.mainecoon.com
   server time.berkeley.netdot.net



(note, those are the LOCAL TO ME ntp servers that *I* am using, you should undoubtedly use others as appropriate, or use the pool servers... see http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome for guidelines)...

finally...

   # chkconfig ntpd on
   # service ntpd start

and wait about 20 mins for it to sync up, and verify functionality with ntptrace...

   # ntptrace
localhost.localdomain: stratum 3, offset 0.004351, synch distance 0.088396
   zorro.sf-bay.org: stratum 2, offset 0.000543, synch distance 0.044773
clock.via.net: stratum 1, offset 0.000027, synch distance 0.000446, refid 'GPS'

if your systems clock is particularlly funky, it may be a good idea to edit, /etc/sysconfig/ntpd and set SYNC_HWCLOCK=yes rather than no. (this tells it to set your HW CMOS clock when it sets the system clock during the initial synchronization)
