 |
|
Just noticed that my ntp client is failing during bootup. Fails in the same way if you try to run it manually after system is up:
# /etc/init.d/ntp-client restart
* Setting clock via the NTP client 'ntpdate' ...
Error : Name or service not known
* Failed to set clock [ !! ]
Anyone come across this before? TIA!

Google for "Name or service not known" - it means the DNS lookup failed.
Check your entries in /etc/conf.d/ntp-client |

Problem is the "pool.ntp.org" which is in there doesn't resolve
Just change it to whatever ntp server you wish to sync from. |

| pool.ntp.org resolves just fine for me. Is it possible that ntp-client is trying to start before net.eth0 is up and running? Can you manually start net-client once bootup is complete? |

I've just had this problem, reproducible after startup.
Yesterday it was all right, no updates...But ping still worked while ntpdate didn't: 
| Code: | PING 0.pool.ntp.org (209.67.219.106) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from lashiir.sapros.com (209.67.219.106): icmp_seq=1 ttl=46 time=202 ms

A few hours latter, all was back in place... |
