The clock on my Debian server is almost 45 minutes off of my other machines, which I thought was kinda weird since it's running ntpd. My OSX (10.4) laptop is syncing to time.apple.com, and its time agrees with the NIST clock at nist.time.gov, so I'm pretty sure those have the correct time. At the same time my Powerbook says that it's 09:29:21, the Debian machine says its 08:17:50. For the server, /etc/openntpd/ntpd.conf has 'servers poo.ntp.org'. (That was the default, and I didn't see any reason to change.) I tried restarting ntpd. When the time didn't change, I found the following in /var/log/syslog : kiltlifter:/var/log# more syslog | grep ntpd Mar 7 08:12:43 localhost ntpd[3410]: ntp engine exiting Mar 7 08:12:43 localhost ntpd[3409]: dispatch_imsg in main: pipe closed Mar 7 08:12:43 localhost ntpd[3409]: Lost child: child exited Mar 7 08:12:43 localhost ntpd[3409]: Terminating Mar 7 08:13:10 localhost ntpd[3469]: ntp engine ready Mar 7 08:13:29 localhost ntpd[3469]: peer 130.236.254.17 now valid Mar 7 08:13:29 localhost ntpd[3469]: peer 83.67.64.230 now valid Mar 7 08:13:31 localhost ntpd[3469]: peer 202.181.31.242 now valid Mar 7 08:13:31 localhost ntpd[3469]: peer 194.88.2.60 now valid Mar 7 08:13:31 localhost ntpd[3469]: peer 81.2.102.154 now valid Mar 7 08:13:32 localhost ntpd[3469]: peer 150.101.72.73 now valid Mar 7 08:13:35 localhost ntpd[3469]: peer 62.57.0.38 now valid Mar 7 08:13:36 localhost ntpd[3469]: peer 61.206.115.3 now valid Mar 7 08:14:31 localhost ntpd[3468]: adjusting local clock by 4293.693775s Mar 7 08:14:31 localhost ntpd[3468]: adjtime failed: Invalid argument It seems that it knows the time is off, but it can't make the adjustment. How can I get more information on that 'Invalid argument' in the last log entry? I tried 'dpkg-reconfigure openntpd', but all that did was restart ntpd again. alex . --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
