[ILUG] NTP problems.

[Francis Crossen]

Hello all,

I am having some problems with NTP on our server here.

We are using Redhat 6.0, kernel 2.2.5-15.

When I try to start xntpd I get the following:

Mar 31 11:42:28 sylvie xntpd[907]: xntpd 3-5.93e Mon Aug 16 20:55:26 EDT 1999 (1
)
Mar 31 11:42:29 sylvie xntpd[907]: tickadj = 5, tick = 10000, tvu_maxslew = 495,
 est. hz = 100
Mar 31 11:42:29 sylvie xntpd[907]: precision = 7 usec
Mar 31 11:42:29 sylvie xntpd[907]: read drift of 55.617 from /etc/ntp/drift
Mar 31 11:42:29 sylvie xntpd[907]: bind() fd 11, family 2, port 123, addr e00001
01, in_classd=1 flags=0 fails: Address already in use
Mar 31 11:42:29 sylvie xntpd[907]: ...multicast address 224.0.1.1 using wildcard
 socket

What is going on with port 123...?  I took the bog standard Redhat installation and added a firewall script and the NTP rpm.

Any ideas guys and gals?

Thanks,
Francis.
