NTP Server configuration

[Feljav]

I am trying to configure a NTP Server. When I run the NTP starup script to start the xntpd daemon I get the following entries in the syslog.log file:

Feb 12 11:33:08 srvux01 inetd[775]: Thru with configuration
Feb 12 11:38:21 srvux01 above message repeats 5 times
Feb 12 11:48:16 srvux01 bootpd[1631]:
Feb 12 11:48:16 srvux01 bootpd[1631]: reading "/etc/dhcptab"
Feb 12 11:48:16 srvux01 bootpd[1631]: group count: 1
Feb 12 11:48:16 srvux01 bootpd[1631]: reading "/etc/bootptab"
Feb 12 11:48:16 srvux01 bootpd[1631]: read 1 entries from "/etc/bootptab"
Feb 12 11:48:16 srvux01 bootpd[1631]: reading "/etc/dhcpdeny"
Feb 12 11:48:16 srvux01 bootpd[1631]: error opening "/etc/dhcpdeny": No such file or directory

and the daemon don't start. What are the posible reasons?

The above mentions NO xntpd messages..

edit /etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons and fill in XNTP=1 and XNTP_SERVER=IP of server

Then modify /etc/ntp.conf with a server line and IP.

/sbin/init.d/xntp stop and start

This all assumes you have network access to the NTP source. If not start troubleshooting there fist with ping or traceroute and ntpdate
