Fedora 7: a problem with ntp ?

[Andy Green]

Somebody in the thread at some point said:

>>> 128.439  -3332.9 1608.39 [root at frontend_light ~]# ntpstat
>>> unsynchronised
>>>  time server re-starting

Is ntpd running after this?

# ps -Af | grep ntpd

I guess I would strace ntpd, then.  If it was selinux, you'd be seeing
avc messages in your /var/log/messages anyway.

# service ntpd stop
# strace -f ntpd -u ntp:ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g
