Hi,
I have a Suse Server and have take the "ntp" in the hosts.cfg.
I get allways this Message back.
Service ntp on SERVER is OK (up)
Command: ntpdate -u -q -p 2 IP-Adresse 2>&1
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The ntpdate program is deprecated and should not be used any more. To quote the upstream ntp developers:
"The functionality ntpdate offered is now provided by the ntpd daemon itself. If you call ntpd with the command line option -q it will retrieve the current time and set it accordingly."
Please check the Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon man page and http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Dev/DeprecatingNtpdate for further information.
You can replace the ntpdate call with "rcntp ntptimeset" to achieve an inital poll of the servers specified in /etc/ntp.conf.
The program /usr/sbin/sntp offers comparable functionality to ntpdate. Specifically sntp -P no -r pool.ntp.org is equivalent to ntpdate pool.ntp.org
For further details please refer to the man page of sntp. sntp: unable to write PID to /etc/sntp.pid sntp: Permission denied
Can you say me how I can change?
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Matthias Pingel
