Network Time Protokoll

download für wind00zen: http://www.meinberg.de/german/sw/ntp.htm

on Debian:

apt-get install ntpdate

Starting NTPD
In Solaris 9 (and probbly a lot of other 8nix servers) you can just... /etc/init.d/xntpd start If you want ntp to start on boot just link the above to rc3 ie ln -s /etc/init.d/xntpd /etc/rc3.d/S99ntp

In Solaris 10 NTPD is a service (alavible but disabled by default) so start it with svcadm enable network/ntp or restart it after making chnage to the config like:

svcadm resnetwork/ntp

ntp.conf
A basic ntp conf (this is one i use on solaris boxes works with Sol 9 and 10) the ntp servers below are just a few that are publicly avalible.

# # # server chronos.csr.net server 81.168.77.149 server ntp2d.mcc.ac.uk
 * 1) ident "@(#)ntp.client 1.3     00/07/17 SMI"
 * 1) /etc/inet/ntp.client
 * 1) An example file that could be copied over to /etc/inet/ntp.conf; it
 * 2) provides a configuration for a host that passively waits for a server
 * 3) to provide NTP packets on the ntp multicast net.
 * 1) multicastclient 224.0.1.1
