rdate problem

Hi,

I have following problem:

 

solution:

rdate -s 192.43.244.18

(192.43.244.18 is time.nist.gov)

If anyone need this, hardware clock can be synchronised using:

# Log in as root
# /sbin/hwclock -r
# /sbin/hwclock --adjust
# /sbin/hwclock --systohc

(source: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/settime.htm )

 

128.2.136.71 seems to have stopped last week...

 

here is an other one: 207.46.232.189
(time.windows.com)

 

....

 

use pool.ntp.org, its a pool of time servers, you will get forwarded to different time server on every query

 

Where I can change the rdate IP server configuration?

I receceive daily logchek errors: "rdate: couldn't connect", is rdate in some cron job?

Thanks

 

Solved

Yes, is a cron job but I've searched in php scripts and not in cron because I don't have seen the first line

$ sudo crontab -e

and edit the first line

Sorry!

 

Debian Sarge 3.1

This is not working:

Code:

# servers to check.   (Separate multiple servers with spaces.)
NTPSERVERS="pool.ntp.org"
#
# additional options for ntpdate
#NTPOPTIONS="-v"
#NTPOPTIONS="-u"

but this from command line is working:

Code:

server201:~# ntpdate -v pool.ntp.org
28 Jul 07:04:39 ntpdate[27216]: ntpdate 4.2.0a@1:4.2.0a+stable-2-r Fri Aug 26 10:30:13 UTC 2005 (1)
28 Jul 07:04:40 ntpdate[27216]: adjust time server 209.151.236.226 offset 0.015092 sec
server201:~#

Any help appreciated

 

Did you try

Code:

/etc/init.d/ntpdate restart

? This checks and corrects the time, if necessary.

You don't need to run

Code:

ntpdate

after

Code:

/etc/init.d/ntpdate restart

Code:

/etc/init.d/ntpdate restart

is sufficient. If it doesn't show an error, it's ok. You can check your time afterwards with

Code:

date
