NTP sync time?

[smartyshan]

Dear All,
I configured NTP client by simply changing /etc/ntp.conf file and add my NTP server in it.

I is synchronizing at every second which generates too much extra traffic what i want is it must sync after an hour periodically.


Need help...

I think you need to specify the minpoll and maxpoll values, from the man page for ntp.conf:

       minpoll minpoll, maxpoll maxpoll
              These  options specify the minimum and maximum poll intervals for NTP messages, in seconds as a power of two.  The maximum poll interval defaults to 10 (1,024 s), but can be increased by the maxpoll option to an upper
              limit of 17 (36.4 h).  The minimum poll interval defaults to 6 (64 s), but can be decreased by the minpoll option to a lower limit of 4 (16 s).  These option are valid only with the server and peer commands.
