ntp: .XFAC. refid
 
Hello List,

I am configuring ntp on a little server Squeeze box:

After each boot, I need to restart manually ntp ( /etc/init,d/ntp restart)
to make is work properly. Otherwise is stuck, namely `ntpq -p' gives:

remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
================================================== ============================
time.xxxxxxx.xx .XFAC. 16 u - 1024 0 0.000 0.000 0.000

How can I avoid the manual restart ?

Thanks in advance,
Jerome

Any clues in syslog or /var/log/boot?

If wired-but-dhcp, maybe the dhcp server isn't responding quickly
enough?

I am agree.
In fact, dhcp seems to be called after ntp.
Is there a (Debian) way to launch ntp after dhcp ?
or to ``reload' ntp after a while ?

I think I'd file a bug against ntp mentioning this.

Probably not the official method, but you can put the ntp restart in
/etc/rc.local.

In fact a closer look shows that ntp sems to manage it:


Feb 26 21:30:15 rezozer ntpd_intres[2526]: DNS time.xxxxx.de -> 130.xxx.xxx.10
Feb 26 21:30:15 rezozer ntpd_intres[2526]: DNS time.xxxxx.de -> 131.xxx.xxx.223
Feb 26 21:30:15 rezozer ntpd_intres[2526]: DNS time.xxxxx.fr -> 192.xxx.xxx.20
Feb 26 21:30:15 rezozer ntpd_intres[2526]: DNS time.xxxxx.es -> 158.xxx.xxx.15
Feb 26 21:30:15 rezozer ntpd_intres[2526]: DNS time.xxxxx.fr -> 193.xxx.xxx.211

Feb 26 21:30:15 rezozer ntpd[2515]: Listen normally on 2 gieth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx UDP 123

so ntp pretends to ``Listen normally', but it does not as it stucks to .XFAC.

Finally I fixed it by reconfiguring my /etc/ntp.conf file from start:
I guess that my old configuration file needs to be upgraded.
