I'm a newbie and just found out about ntp in Greg's book. So I attempted to set it up and it's been running for only a few days. I'm betting this is a problem, huh? 101 Blacksheep# ntpdc -c kerninfo ntpdc: read: Connection refused So I assume this means that the NTP server I am pointing isn't accepting my connection? Here is my ntp.conf: 106 Blacksheep# cat ntp.conf server 165.227.1.1 prefer #ns.scruz.net (Santa Cruz, CA) server 63.192.96.2 #ntp1.mainecoon.com (Quincy, CA) server 63.192.96.3 #ntp2.mainecoon.com (Quincy, CA) server 132.239.254.49 #ntp.ucsd.edu (San Diego, CA) driftfile /etc/ntp.drift broadcast 192.168.0.255 So then I try an update manually using ntpdate and it seems to work: 108 Blacksheep# ntpdate ns.scruz.net 9 Nov 08:11:09 ntpdate[1438]: step time server 165.227.1.1 offset -32.772205 sec So where is my error?
