Quoting Crouching Tiger <crouchingtiger33@xxxxxxxxx>:
I've been looking for information regarding SNTP support in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 AS, however the result is inconclusive. Today, SNTP is the most common use of the NTP infrastructure. Also, SNTP is a small subset of the overall NTP functionality, so it has many unique client implementations. I have found information regarding NTP support. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 AS implements version 4 of the Network Time Protocol (NTP). Could you please let me know if there is a SNTP client presently in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 AS?
Hmmm... As far as I know, there is no dedicated SNTP client. Anyhow, what's wrong with configuring ntpd to be just a client? The configuration file is couple of lines (very simple). Or you could just fire off system-config-time and let it create configuration file for you (I'd suggest enabling "use local time source" under advanced options).
I simply fail to see any advantage of running SNTP vs. full NTP implementation.
