If you're not using ntp, you don't need a ntp.conf

doesn't it come with a fresh installation ?
In this state ntp is inactive and /etc/ntp.conf contains only comment lines.

I should have copied the file with antoher name but didn't.
The last lines say (see the whole file at the end of this msg.):

" Default NTP configuration file."
"Broadcast client, no authentication."
should the lines following be commented out?:

broadcastclient
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
tracefile /etc/ntp.trace

Thanks for your help.

The modified file has IBM's comment lines like this:

My version does not have the last two (commented out) lines but is
otherwise the same.

this looks pretty much like the original IBM,
with your time server entries added but disabled.
So where's the problem ? You can also disable ntp services
in /etc/rc.tcpip

Thanks to both Michael's!

I just wanted to make sure the entries are correct for a system with
inactive ntp.
I previously activated ntp and since noted slowdown of the system and
entries in cron running at the "wrong" time.
Not sure if ntp is cause of this, but I wanted to undo this just to
make sure it could not be the cause.
Which time does cron actually use, the local time or CUT (Coordinated
Universal Time)?
Our time zone is GMT-4, if I enter this timezone and if I want to set
the date and time, what do I enter (if it's 9:00AM local time).
I assumed I had to enter my localetime and date and the GMT-4
timezone, but now I am in doubt..
Thanks for your help.


If it's 9:00AM
