ntpdate is dead and is discontinued. Use an actual daemon to govern your time source.
I thought redhat installed ntpd or chrony by default. I know chrony is the default for the next fedora release. If you have ntpd/chronyd installed your advice is horrible and not just because you pointed everyone to Virginia Tech's time server.
- mdda 15y agoThanks : Updated procedure (for Fedora without chronyd/ntpd running already) : # yum install chrony # systemctl enable chronyd.service # systemctl start chronyd.service Sorry if the (working) pointers before were horrible. Hopefully this is more useful - the servers used are {N}.fedora.pool.ntp.org.
- dfc 15y agochronyd is a lot more mindful of battery/power considerations than ntpd. It is an interesting approach to endpoint time synchronization compared to the ntp reference implementation.
