Problem with NTP Service

[Victor Burguillos_4]

Hi,
I try to configure a Host with my NTP Server, the problem is that the xntpd services try to run but faill, the system show the following error:
Feb 12 11:12:01 tca068 xntpd[28946]: time error -1170.521523 is way too large (set clock manually)
Anybody help me.

Thanks a Lot

Victor

You systems local time is too far off for ntp to start. You need to run the date command to get you with 1000 seconds of "real" time and then NTP will be able to start. Of course, you should be able to use date to get you much closer than 1000 seconds.

Well, the error is actually telling you exactly what to do.

The problem is that the clock on your server is off by 1,170 seconds (almost 20 minutes). NTP cannot handle that much of a time difference. You must reset the clock manually so that it is closer to the correct time. Then you can try to start NTP again.

Hi Victor,

xntp can not sync the time on your server because the difference is to large.

stop the applications/databases and sync the time with "ntpdate timeserver".
