Hi everyone!
I have ntpd 4.2.0-r2 installed, but noticed this morning that it had crashed. The log has these lines:
| Code: |
10 Sep 07:17:55 ntpd[23509]: synchronized to 213.15.3.18, stratum=2
10 Sep 07:28:37 ntpd[23509]: time reset +0.194989 s
10 Sep 07:30:11 ntpd[23509]: Exiting: No more memory!
|
My server was of course NOT out of memory, so what caused this crash? And better, how do I prevent future ones?
My NTP server is part of the pool.ntp.org project, so it's kinda critical it stays up...

see this thread for some hints on why ntpd can't allocate more memory. they seem to have solved it by adding this to ntp.conf:
| Code: | disable monitor
restrict default nopeer |
the "nopeer" keyword will make ntpd provide time services to hosts but not use any memory for the task.
also, running "ntpdc -c memstats |grep memory" should give you some stats on the memory usage.
hope it helps!
