Re: [hobbit] NTP

Thanks for the feedback Rob. I tried what you said and it doesn't matter. This is being run from the main Hobbit server. The problem seems to be with iptables on the client. When I shut off iptables on the client it works just fine so the query from the hobbit server to the client is being blocked. This is what the server says:

server 10.164.138.60, stratum 0, offset 0.000000, delay 0.00000
12 Nov 11:31:32 ntpdate[26628]: no server suitable for synchronization found


It looks like it is trying to use port 26628.


Got any ideas how I specify the port to use (and exactly where that is specified in Hobbit) so I can allow for it in the client iptables config?


Thanks

kevin

Hi all,
  Can someone tell me how to get the NTP test to work? I get an error
when I try it saying something like " a suitable time server could not
be found". I get the impression that I need to specify MY time server in
some config file somewhere but I cannot find where that is. Any help
appreciated.


A quick eyeball of the output suggests it uses:

ntpdate -u -q -p 2 HOST_IP 2>&1

Try su-ing to the user you run hobbit as and try the command.
