Setting up an NTP Server:
The time server is generally the computer designated to run SimpleSync. This
process can only be run on OSX 10.6 or earlier.
Download the Extras Folder from
www.dtvideolabs.com/download.html
. Once
opened, move the ntp.conf file within the ‘ntp.conf for server’ folder to your Home
Directory.
!
Launch Apple’s Terminal Application and enter the following command:
sudo cp ntp.conf /etc
You may get a warning and may be asked for your password.
The configuration file for the server contains the following text:
server 127.127.1.0 prefer
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 0
The first line tells the Mac to use its own internal clock (127.127.1.0) as its time base,
and the second line tells it to serve that same time to clients.
Once this file has been properly moved into the /etc directory with the Unix
command, 127.127.1.0 will automatically show up in the field next to Set Date and
Time. Entering 127.127.1.0 directly into the field will not work. The checkbox to
the left should be enabled. Once complete, restart the server and move on to the
clients.
