Hi all,

I'm trying to setup an NTP server and having never done it before I'm stuck
;--(

The trouble is, I've no access to the Internet so I cannot reference an
external time server. 

So what I've been trying to do is:
Use the local clock on one box as my reference time server. [charmander]

In the ntp.conf, it seems to have a dummy clock already setup and so I am
trying to use this. 
I start the ntpd service, and configure my client[s] to point to charmander.


# ntpdate charmander 
I get the following error:

no server suitable for synchronization found, exiting. 

[There is a difference of several hours between the client and server, dunno
if that makes a difference]

Now on charmander, there is an error in messages saying:
Un-parsable frequency in /etc/ntp/drift

So I did a google search, and I got plenty of hits, in every language except
english ;--)
So what the hell does that mean?

Regards,
CW
