I have three Linux boxes, namely, A, B, and C, in my LAN. I use C
as the NTP server for my LAN. C, in turn, gets its synchronization
from some external NTP server.
Both A and B use the same (very simple) ntp.conf configuration file:
server 127.127.1.0 # local clock
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
server 192.168.0.1 # IP address of C in my LAN
driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
multicastclient # listen on default 224.0.1.1
broadcastdelay 0.008
The problem is that while A gets its synchronization from C all
right, B does not. In A, the ouput from
ntpq -pn
is
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
127.127.1.0 127.127.1.0 10 l 48 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.004
*192.168.0.1 216.27.190.202 3 u 937 1024 377 2.087 0.813 0.115
whereas when invoked from B, the command just hangs for a few seconds,
finally returning the following:
localhost: timed out, nothing received
***Request timed out
Can anybody give ideas so as to what is going here? Notice that I
can synchronize B with C by hand by issuing the ntpdate command in B.
