Sorry
about that. I should have proofed my e-mail.
You
are correct; edit ntp.conf.
If
step-tickers is empty, populate it with Stratum 2 IP address, or DNS resolvable
names if you prefer. DNS resolvable names may be a better idea incase the
addresses change.

Hello Jeff,
I am not sure if NTP is broken on RH 7.2, but the following shows how I have it set up.
Edit /etc/nbd.conf as such;
server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx prefer ---> add stratum 2 server ip address here with the "prefer" comment (add others for redundancy)
server 127.127.1.0 # local clock
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
Edit or create file /etc/ntp/step-tickers with the Stratum 2 IP addresses as so;
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Restart the ntp server;
# service ntpd restart
That should be all you need. Run ntptrace and check the results.

- Hi James,
I am having some similar issues with a Redhat 7.2 - "2.4.9-31enterprise" Server. But in my case I can't get NTP to see the time servers I have defined, even though the box under it in the rack running FreeBSD sees them fine.
Since it's 7.2 I am using /etc/ntp.conf as the config base, but when I run ntptrace the only server I see is 127.0.0.1
Can you maybe pass along some hints as to how you got this running, or did you just go to RH 9 ? Where NTP is supposedly fixed ?
TIA,
JMS.
