I have the ntp running and see no error messages while it's running
but ntptime returnes error, the time is few minutes off and ntpdc says
'not synchronized'. How do I go about troubleshooting? any help
appreciated.
another suspicious symptom is that there's nothing in
/var/log/ntpstats
here's the relevant info:
debian unstable, kernel 2.4.5
ii ntp 4.0.99g-3
ii ntp-doc 4.0.99g-3
ii ntpdate 4.0.99g-3
