10.5: Back to My Mac fails to start due to incorrect time
In order for NTP to work, it needs multiple time servers. Apple's initial ntp.conf file is not good. I recommend using the ntp pool. e.g. for folks in the United States:
10.5: Back to My Mac fails to start due to incorrect time
goatbar, can you explain the "server 127.127.1.0" entry in your ntp.conf file?
10.5: Back to My Mac fails to start due to incorrect time
Maybe that is his router's address? I think that many routers might have an NTP server running.
10.5: Back to My Mac fails to start due to incorrect time
That would be so that if the network goes down, ntp will default back to using the computers internal clock.
ntp pool info
Great info, I had been just using ca.pool.ntp.org in the "date and time" control panel, but edited the /etc/ntp.conf file to include the 0123 servers for ca as well as the NA ones as well. Some details of the NTP pools are at:
http://www.pool.ntp.org/ They seem to be suggesting using at least three, selecting from the closest (in networking terms) pool to you. When I updated my ntp.conf file, and tried "ntpq -p -n", I got no change from before the edit, so I used the "Date and Time" panel in "System Preferences" to uncheck the "use network time server" box, and then checked the box again - that seems to have restarted the NTP process and loaded the new ntp.conf file. There is probably a way of doing that from the command line of course, but the checkbox was easier to find. |
