[Sajjad Sahir]

Dear All

unfortunately I changed system time in my first server now it is not synchronisig time with second one.Without rebooting how I can manage this issue?

data1# date
Wed Apr 30 15:05:54 WAT 2008
data2# date
Wed Apr 30 15:25:22 WAT 2008

data2# ntpdate data1
30 Apr 15:26:35 ntpdate[2532]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting

any idea

[OFC_EDM]

can you post the output of ntpq -p?

[OFC_EDM]

Did you stop the ntp (xntpd) daemon before running ntpdate?

[Jeeshan]

Hi Sajjad

Did you enable NTP daemon in /etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons?

what is your ntp.conf file content?

Hi Sajjad Sahir,

if want to sync time each other you can use this command to sync time each other
/usr/sbin/ntpdate -b (ip of another server)

Hi again Sajjad

I understand what u configured is ok from your side. but sometimes the configuration may cause the problem.

yould you please post here what exactly you have changed in your ntp.conf file?

[Sajjad Sahir]

Dear Ahsan Ustad

without ntp how could you synchronize your date in your network?

>>data2# ntpdate data1
30 Apr 15:26:35 ntpdate[2532]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting


this command will only applicable when there is a ntp server and synchonize its time to other server.

are you confused abt the time server or UTC time?

UTC is different thing. its aonly synchronize your server with UTC time.
