Title: Time Sync
Post by: Teviot on February 29, 2008, 04:06:35 AM

I was reading either in the forums or bugzilla about a time sync problem and smeserver.pool.ntp.org

I have since changed the server that SME looks at and I am not sure that I am reading the logs correctly.

I believe that is is now in sync with the selected time server. Could someone advise me?

Try

ntpq -npThis should output something like this:

Thanks Cactus

Thank you for reading my question and providing me with information to help me sort the problem.  Its a shame that OTHERS just say to see bugziller or similar.

Thanks again
