From: J.H.Kim on 15 Dec 2009 20:00 Hi, everyone I have a 2 PCs in my office and they are not connected to internet. But I wish to synchronize the 2PC. One is for time server and one is for time client. Is it possible to use NTP for the purpose? How I can config NTP server with local time? Thanks in advance.

You forgot to tell him how to configure the ntp client machine. IIRC, the default behavior is _not_ to listen for a broadcast server. The Lenny install default is to query the *.pool.ntp.org servers. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

From: Rick Thomas on 16 Dec 2009 00:20 Configure them both to use their local clock as reference. On the "server" fudge the local clock to stratum 10. On the "client" fudge the local clock to stratum 13. Have each reference the other as a "peer" rather than "server". If this is unclear, let me know and I'll try to be more explicit.

IIUC if you install openntpd and set up one machine as a server you can configure the other to act as a client. The client machine's time will drift toward the servers time and then remain synchronised. Adrian -- 24x7x365 != 24x7x52 Stupid or bad maths? <erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
