Hi @all,
I've a VPS for my internal LAN, which should also be used as a NTP
server.
The HN has already syncronized the time by de.pool.ntp.org, so the time
is also ok inside the VPS.
The NTP server inside the VPS stalled, ntpq -p shows:
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset
jitter
============================================================ ==================
localhost .INIT. 16 l - 64 0 0.000 0.000
0.000
my /etc/ntp.conf looks like this:
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
statistics loopstats peerstats clockstats
filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable
filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable
filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable
server 127.0.0.1
fudge 127.0.0.1 stratum 12
restrict -4 default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery
restrict -6 default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery
restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict ::1
restrict 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap
does anybody knows a solution?
Thanks
Daniel

Not really true. You need special capabilities assigned to the VE to
let it manage your system clock. So if you need ntp inside the VE you
should do something like "vzctl set <VEID> --capability sys_time:on",
install ntp inside the VE and deinstall it on the HN.

But that's not what I want.
I want the HN to be a NTP client, so that all (HN + VE) have a valid
time.
This works already.
I want the VE to be a NTP server for the local LAN, without beeing a NTP
Client.
That doesn't work.
Why?
No VE and also no LAN client have access to the HN.
I've 3 subnets with 3 gatesways (VE), all gateways should be a NTP
server and couln't be a NTP client.
Thanks
Daniel

NTP by default only works as server if it has a valid timesource. By
default it does not use the "local clock" because its unreliable. On
the other hand NTP always try to adjust the local clock if it has a
valid timesource. This does not work in a VE if you don't set the
capability to adjust the clock, NTP will even run as "root" if it is
not able to adjust the local clock with the intended user.
If you insist on your network design your options are:
- Let the VE NTP get the time from the HN and let it run as root on the VE
- Try to hack NTP use the local clock as timesource and not try to update

the solution was not to take localhost, but

now it works.
Thanks a lot

But be aware that NTP inside the VE is running as "root" in this case.
Don't every expose it to untrusted networks this way.
