http://unix.stackexchange.com – I am running Voyage Linux (a Debian-based distribution) and am having trouble getting the correct date. When I look in /var/log/daemon.log I see the following: Nov 18 11:04:07 voyage ntpdate[1676]: step time server 203.97.109.165 offset 2141299826.398106 sec Aug 20 17:06:20 voyage ntpdate[1710]: step time server 119.47.118.129 offset 2141299826.401065 sec Jun 28 06:36:47 voyage ntpdate[1744]: step time server 203.97.109.165 offset 2141299826.460901 sec The correct date is Nov 18 11:04:07 but it is getting changed to the middle of June. How can I fix this? (HowTos)

Stories similar to NTPDate runs three times at boot resulting in incorrect date

Good Morning,

Google is not helping me at all, here. This is in RHEL 5.5.

First, ntpdate to the remote host works:

$ ntpdate XXX.YYY.4.21 24 Oct 16:01:17 ntpdate[5276]: adjust time server XXX.YYY.4.21 offset 0.027291 sec

Second, here are the server lines in my /etc/ntp.conf.

I have what I believe is a system file, /etc/cron.daily/ntpupdate which runs ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com daily to sync with the network time.

Why is the clock wrong? 1 year 4 days ago

Ubuntu's clock is off by about a half hour:

Where do I even start troubleshooting this?

It's allegedly being set "automatically from the Internet".

Hi,

Could somebody please explain me. why is it necessary to execute the "ntpdate" command only when ntp daemon is stopped , and also the probabale solution to reduce the high offset value.

Thanks !! Laxxi

I am setting up my Ubuntu 10.0.4 server to sync clock with a Windows 2008 AD. As none of the "remote" has a "*" in front (worst it had a blank space in front), does it mean no time sync source is selected? The offset just keep increasing.

sudo ntpdate -b pool.ntp.org 18 Jan 05:53:49 ntpdate[21340]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting

ntpdate wrong date 8 weeks 4 hours ago

Hi all I have an ubuntu8 server where I have problems with date. My current date (Europe/Rome) is 9:35 If I do date print me 11:12:34 I have seen my ntp.conf is:

server 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org server 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org server 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org server 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org restrict -4 default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery restrict -6 default kod notrap nomodify no

I'm behind a firewall and only have access to ports 80 and port 443.

How can I sync my system's clock?

Here's the command I issue:

sudo ntpdate -u 1.debian.pool.ntp.org

But I keep getting the following error:

no server suitable for synchronization found.

Is there some other program that can sync over port 80/443?
