Hi, you could synchronize your clock to a remote ntp server as follows: 1. Get one or more IP addresses from http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2a.html (list of public ntp servers) 2. Put the addresses in the following files: /etc/ntp.conf #don't forget the word server in front of the IP address! server 123.123.123.123 /etc/ntp/step-tickers #don't put the word server in front of the IP address! 123.123.123.123 3. start the ntpd deamon /etc/init.d/ntpd start (and make it start every time you start your system -> redhat-config-services) 4. issue the command ntpq -p it could take some time (a few minutes) until you see a * in front of one of the output lines. The * tells you that your machine is synchronize with the servers listed in /etc/ntp.conf Good luck, Carsten > > Message: 30 > Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2003 08:09:30 > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > From: Thierry ITTY <thierry.itty@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: system time > Reply-To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > > A 22:27 23/10/2003 -0700, vous avez crit : > >Hello everyone, > >I am a new bie to redhat linux. > >I have a problem regarding system time .The problem is > >that, I have to set system time at everyday.When set the system time > >using date command the time is set but after some time it is changed . > >Thanks in advance > > some clues > - somebody else changes date too : find him ! might happen with some > cron'ed job calling some kind of time sync command > - you reboot and the system time is set from RTC which is not up to date : > compare system time to hardware clock ("date" vs "hwclock") eventually set > the h/w clock to the right time ("date --set" to set the system time then > "hwclock --systohc" to set rtc to the system time) -- another thing is that > the system assumes the h/w clock is running UTC but hwclock actually > doesn't -- another thing is you sometime boot another m$ os with different > time considerations > - the quartz is bad : check whether time lags quickly, for example every > hour you get 5 more (or less) minutes -- the system may though compute a > correct system time if the quartz is regular by handling drift information > > hth > -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
