I have installed RedHat 8.0 and i've trying to use
it as a ntp server for my switches. I configured the ntp.conf and it is seems to
working as a daemon at least. First i have been trying to allow sync only for
another machine with windows xp, but when i try to sync from the xp machine
(home version) it tells me the following error message:
An error occurred while Windows was synchronizing
with 10.1.52.39. The time sample was rejected because: The peer's stratum is
less than the host's stratum.
I tried to sync XP with stratum 1 and stratum 2
public servers and it seems to work fine. My guess is that somehow the stratum
of the Linux box is less than the windows box requires. I want to change redhat
in a stratum 2 server so xp can sync from it.
I do not really care that much about the exact
time, i just want to have the same time in my network. An maybe some one can
give me a clue how to start ntp daemon without having to connect to to internet,
but just with the local clock
The following is the ntp.conf file
server time.nist.gov
server 128.227.205.3
broadcast 10.255.255.255
restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict 10.1.52.37 // which is the
name of XP machine
driftfile /etc/ntp/ntp.drift
resolver /etc/ntp/ntpres
keys /etc/ntp/ntp.keys
restrict default ignore
any help is appreciated
Thanks !
