Does this happens after a reconnect with your provider and getting a new
ip address?
If so, then yes. I have had this problem also a long time ago. The
following command works for me in /etc/ppp/ip-up.local.
# restart time service cause of new ip from provider
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ntpd restart

Olaf

Hi, Olaf. Thanks for replying.
No, the server is on a fixed IP, internally and externally.

Ok, here is my config file, hope this helps.
There was an option in the 'restrict default' line that I had to remove
for working properly, but I couldn't remember what it was.

Anne,
please check your /etc/ntp.conf for the "server" statement; CentOS original
is
server 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org
server 1.rhel.pool.ntp.org
server 2.rhel.pool.ntp.org
These 2 server ips you listed do not belong to this pool (you can check via
dns), and resolved backwardly their names do not sound like they are ntp
servers.
You should find out why your ntp tries to send to them (and what).
The "total synchronizations ..." line at least seems to say that your ntp
sync works - you could check that with ntpdate against a server from the
above pool to be sure.

I wonder if it was ipv6 lines? I have

I don't have a broadcastdelay line, as far as I can see.
You have fare more 'restricts' than I have, but apart from that the main
difference seems to be the presence of two IPV6 lines. What do you think?

My config file says
server 0.centos.pool.ntp.org
server 1.centos.pool.ntp.org
server 2.centos.pool.ntp.org

One is the University of Potsdam, which seems a likely pool member. The other
is the National Information Infrastucture Development Office in Budapest -
again, I would not think that too unlikely.

The zones are listed at http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/europe but I have no idea
how to find out which servers are in each pool.
In fact it is not the same addresses each day. The day before I mentioned it,
the report gave the IP of Research Machines, in Oxfordshire. Again, a likely
member of a pool.

I'll do that, thanks.
