Re: Time syncing

[ethan]

ok guys, I am trying this:

ntpdate -s ntp.ucsd.edu ns.scruz.net ntp1.cs.wisc.edu

at least it does not show any output.... how do I tell if its working as compared to the -u option where I got:

[root@Echelon ethan]# ntpdate -u ntp.ucsd.edu ns.scruz.net ntp1.cs.wisc.edu
 3 Dec 18:13:05 ntpdate[1418]: no server suitable for synchronization found

thanks,

That is wrong.
ntpdate and ntp do not need each other in order to function
correctly. Infact - if you would start ntpd and then try
to use ntpdate it will fail telling you that the socket
will already be in use.

ntpdate is used to set the date by hand - it's the
quick and dirty way to time sync.
ntpd is the stand alone daemon that is used to more
accurate time sync since it will record clock drift and
act on it.
