Is there anyone who can help with untangling some ntp issues in
busybox? I have an Atmel STK1000 dev kit (AVR32, AP7000 ARM 7
processor) and want to turn it into an NTP server. I'm running
busybox and have added ntp utilities through buildroot, but don't know
what I need to do to synchronize this board to external servers. I
have followed the advice from this walk-through:
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch24_:_The_NTP_Server
but have hit some snags where certain commands are not supported in
busybox (service start/stop/reset, chkconfig). At boot ntpd looks to
read from somewhere:
Running ntpdate: 16 Dec 17:39:43 ntpdate[411]: step time server
155.101.3.114 offset 1260988767.511027 sec
done
but issuing an ntpdate command returns:
16 Dec 18:22:01 ntpdate[444]: no servers can be used, exiting
what can I do to test that this is working? 'pgrep ntpd' returns only
one process number where the above link makes it sound I should be
seeing several.
I've posted at AVRFreaks, but they've been slow to respond. I was
wondering whether this would be a more appropriate place to post.
Thanks.
