I'm having a small issue with a server of mine. I can't get it to sync to any time server to help keep it correct. Tried the command below, what I see is: 8 Oct 21:58:27 ntpdate : no server suitable for synchronization found I can manually adjust it with date and then sync the system to the hardware clock, but it very rapidly drifts (e.g. set it now, by tommorrow night it will be 2 or 3 minutes fast and slowly increasing more). Since I can sync my Windows machines by using Worldtime, I spent a little time trying to find an NTP server daemon for Windows that the linux machines could sync to. Didn't find anything that would work (guess I need to improve my searching skills). I wonder if being behind a NAT router could be affecting what ntpdate is trying to find. > If you are on the net and have ntpdate installed, you can do a : > > # ntpdate timex.cs.columbia.edu > > and that will get you set against a time server. > > Afterwards, do a : > > hwclock --systohc > > And that will set the cmos clock on the motherboard so that it now has the > correct time also.
