Hi
I have a local network and one of the computers has a CVS server.
I need to configure ntpd to work as follows:
- The machine with the CVS server has to update the time from internet
(the connection is not always available).
- Other machines have to adjust the time from the machine running the CVS
server.

I managed to keep the CVS server machine updated, but on the other
machines ntpdate gives me this message:
"no server suitable for synchronization found", when trying to update the
time from the local server.
Yesterday, when I first tried it, it worked. Today I'm getting this
message.
If anyone has done this, could you please post your ntp.conf files of the
server and client machines?
In the meanwhile I am watching ntpd.log to see if there is something wrong
with my settings.
Thanks.

For local updates you do not need to setup the complete ntp service.
Just running /usr/sbin/netdate "servername" from cron (i.e. once a day)
is mostly more than good enough.

Use chrony[0], it's a replacement NTP server that can handle
intermittent net connections better that the standard NTP system.
