How to activate ntp server?

[hariharasubramanian]

Hi,

I have two root privileged Debian etch and I tried to install the NTP server. I made one system to act as NTP server and another one system is NTP client.

I installed the ntp packages and configured (in /etc/ntp.conf ) appropriately in appropriate configuration file.

But unfortunately its NOT working fine!.

The configuration information's are following:

From Server :

# /etc/ntp.conf, configuration for ntpd

driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
statsdir /var/log/ntpstats/

statistics loopstats peerstats clockstats
filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable
filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable
filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable

server 127.0.0.1
restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict 192.168.1.0  mask  255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap
broadcast 192.168.1.255

[ The above lines are not included any comment line ].


From NTP Client server :

# /etc/ntp.conf, configuration for ntpd

driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
statsdir /var/log/ntpstats/

statistics loopstats peerstats clockstats
filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable
filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable
filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable

server 192.168.1.210
server 192.168.1.210

restrict default notrust nomodify nopeer
restrict 192.168.1.210 mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery

restrict -4 default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery
restrict -6 default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery
restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict ::1

The NTP Server machine IP address is 192.168.1.210 and client address is 192.168.1.192.

So if "its working fine", what assistance do you need?

Good. Now you need to tell us some of the symptoms of NOT working fine. Log errors? Error messages on service start/stop? Clock drift with no other indications of problems?
