ntp issue on linux server, time goes ahead

[Elmar P. Kolkman]

One other thing: make sure a correct Proliant Support Pack is installed... It is needed to set the time in the hardware clock.

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

check the ntpd -q output and the sysconfig options..


for reference:


[root@oclab50 ~]# ntpq -p
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
