Hi list,

the time on one of our servers is incorrect despite using ntpd, I also  
noticed that the driftfile value is 0.000 and doesn't changed. What  
could be the problem?

Here is our conf file:

restrict default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery
restrict -6 default kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery
restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict -6 ::1
server 0.nl.pool.ntp.org
server 1.nl.pool.ntp.org
server 2.nl.pool.ntp.org
server 3.nl.pool.ntp.org
fudge   127.127.1.0 stratum 10
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift
keys /etc/ntp/keys
logconfig =all

the driftfile is writable

ls -l /var/lib/ntp/drift
-rw-r--r-- 1 ntp ntp 6 May 12 23:54 /var/lib/ntp/drift

the os is Centos 5
ntp version ntp-4.2.2p1-7

regards, Chantal
