Hi,

I try to set the time with sntp on my linux server, but it doesn't work.

#sntp -v -u -a ntp.server.com
sntp options: a=3 v=1 e=0.100 E=5.000 P=30.000
    d=15 c=5 x=0 op=1 l=/etc/sntp.pid f=ntp.server.com
The time correction is 598.773 +/- 0.000+0.000 seconds
Do you want to correct the time anyway? yes
sntp: unable to adjust current system time
sntp: Success

I don't get what goes wrong?

Our you sure you have enough rights?

Try to do it as root.

The following usually works for me:

Code: Select all

sntp -r ntp.server.com

the -r option tells it to reset the system clock by settimeofday.
