Note that if the the time is too far off, nptd can't resync. You should make sure you list the time servers in /etc/ntp/step-tickers. If you do that, the startup code will use ntpdate to set the time correctly before attempting to start the daemon. Normally this matters only at bootup time, since once the daemon is running properly, it will keep time synchronized properly. In the step-tickers file, you can just list the servers, separateed by spaces, e.g.: server1 server2 server3 -- pete peterson Teradyne, Inc.; 7 Technology Park Drive; Westford, MA 01886-0033 +1-978-589-7478 (Office); +1-978-589-2088 (FAX); pete.peterson@teradyne.com or petersonp@genrad.com -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
