7.8.1 Configure NTP
The file /etc/ntp.conf has many options. We want to define the time servers
to use. You need the hostname (or IP address) of the time servers you wish to access.
Using your editor, edit the file and add the line:
server
to the end of the file.
For example, let's use the name
ts1.mydomain . Your entry is
server ts1.mydomain
You need the hostname (or IP address) of the time servers you wish to access.
You should also add the server names to the file
/etc/ntp/step-tickers .
This file just needs the name of the time servers (the word 'server' as used in the
file
/etc/ntp.conf
is not needed)
7.8.2 Start the NTP Service
To start the NTP service manually:
service ntpd start
To cause NTP to start automatically on startup:
chkconfig ntpd on
