[mythtv-users] NTP issue - time drifting, ntpd crashing?

[duckeo]

Hi

Been fiddling with ntpd on my slackware 10.0 box for a while now but it
constantly seems to be freezing and allowing the time to drift
significantly.

root at mythtv:/home/mythtv# uname -a
Linux mythtv 2.6.12.3-mythtv #3 Tue Jul 26 23:03:30 EST 2005 i686 unknown
unknown GNU/Linux

root at mythtv:/home/mythtv# cat /etc/ntp.conf
# Sample /etc/ntp.conf:  Configuration file for ntpd.

logfile     /var/log/ntpd.log
server  ntp.iinet.net.au
server  ntp.nsw.westnet.com.au
server  time.deakin.edu.au
server  ntp0.cs.mu.OZ.AU
server  ntp1.cs.mu.OZ.AU
server  au.pool.ntp.org

fudge   127.127.1.0 stratum 10

driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
multicastclient                 # listen on default 224.0.1.1

# Keys file.  If you want to diddle your server at run time, make a

# used for making requests.
# PLEASE DO NOT USE THE DEFAULT VALUES HERE. Pick your own, or remote
# systems might be able to reset your clock at will.
#
#keys           /etc/ntp/keys

# Don't serve time or stats or trust anyone else by default (more secure)

# Trust ourselves.  :-)

I am starting ntpd up from /etc/rc.d/rc.local with:

# start up ntpd
ntpdate dns.iinet.net.au
/usr/sbin/ntpd

When ntpd first starts up, the log file registers:
6 Jan 01:10:53 ntpd[2597]: frequency initialized 0.000 PPM from
/etc/ntp/drift

but there are no log entries after that date.

ntpd seems to be running still:

root at mythtv:/etc/rc.d# ps aux | grep ntpd
root      2620  0.0  0.7  3640 3636 ?        SLs  Jan06   1:23
/usr/sbin/ntpd
root     10970  0.0  0.1  1772  624 pts/1    S+   19:29   0:00 grep ntpd


is SLs it's normal running state? I'm not sure...
