Re: Local NTP for 5 Subnets

Hi,

we have ~50 PC's in 5 Subnets and want to synchronize them to a local
NTP Server.
I've installed the ntp Package on Debian and configured it like
described on http://www.brennan.id.au/09-Network_Time_Protocol.html so
my ntp.conf looks like this:

[]
But everytime I want to sync one of the Clients Clock I get an error
like "ntpdate [xxxxx] no server suitable for synchronisation found" or
on Windows something like "timecheck refused: Peer stratum lower than
host Stratum"

can someone help me?
Greetings Tom

Tom,

I'm not a Linux person, but I would suggest:

- remove all the restrict etc. statements for testing

- the "fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 5" should be 10 and not 5. 5 is probaly
too low.

- check the result of "ntpq -p" on the server - does it show the server as
synchronising, and to what?

- check the result of "ntpq -p" on a client - what does it synchronise to?
