Perhaps it is a problem with adjtime() ? also ntpdate also fails to synchronize the time if offset if less then 0.5 second - so when it uses adjtime() but works fine for biggest drifts, when settimeofday() is used (according to man ntpdate)
perhaps ntpd tries to use adjtime() and thats why it doesnt work? Notice how only >0.5 sec drifts are fixed and smaller remain unfixed by ntpdate also: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /etc/init.d/ntp stop ; while true ; do ntpdate pl.pool.ntp.org ; sleep 20 ; done * Stopping NTP server ntpd [ OK ] 10 Jun 11:59:55 ntpdate[6667]: adjust time server 217.153.128.243 offset 0.165079 sec 10 Jun 12:00:19 ntpdate[6669]: adjust time server 217.153.128.243 offset 0.205100 sec 10 Jun 12:00:44 ntpdate[6671]: adjust time server 83.19.137.3 offset 0.250410 sec 10 Jun 12:01:08 ntpdate[6674]: adjust time server 217.153.128.243 offset 0.298344 sec 10 Jun 12:01:33 ntpdate[6676]: adjust time server 83.19.137.3 offset 0.344156 sec 10 Jun 12:01:54 ntpdate[6681]: adjust time server 83.19.137.3 offset 0.389814 sec 10 Jun 12:02:14 ntpdate[6683]: adjust time server 83.19.137.3 offset 0.430025 sec 10 Jun 12:02:39 ntpdate[6685]: adjust time server 217.153.128.243 offset 0.471731 sec 10 Jun 12:03:04 ntpdate[6688]: step time server 217.153.128.243 offset 0.518811 sec 10 Jun 12:03:25 ntpdate[6690]: adjust time server 83.19.137.3 offset 0.055616 sec 10 Jun 12:03:49 ntpdate[6693]: adjust time server 217.153.128.243 offset 0.097457 sec 10 Jun 12:04:14 ntpdate[6695]: adjust time server 83.19.137.3 offset 0.142246 sec 10 Jun 12:04:39 ntpdate[6697]: adjust time server 83.19.137.3 offset 0.190079 sec 10 Jun 12:05:03 ntpdate[6710]: adjust time server 217.153.128.243 offset 0.239657 sec 10 Jun 12:05:28 ntpdate[6713]: adjust time server 217.153.128.243 offset 0.286784 sec 10 Jun 12:05:52 ntpdate[6715]: adjust time server 217.153.128.243 offset 0.333004 sec 10 Jun 12:06:17 ntpdate[6717]: adjust time server 217.153.128.243 offset 0.379739 sec 10 Jun 12:06:47 ntpdate[6719]: adjust time server 217.153.128.243 offset 0.437479 sec 10 Jun 12:07:11 ntpdate[6725]: adjust time server 217.153.128.243 offset 0.484347 sec 10 Jun 12:07:36 ntpdate[6727]: step time server 217.153.128.243 offset 0.531317 sec -- ntpd doesn't work - time is not synchronized https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238805 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
