Summary

0007021: NTP sometimes fails to update

Description

NTP can sometimes fail to synchronize under ClearOS. This can be the result of a block on the firewall or the ISP firewall. When this happens, updates from time.clearsdn.com will fail.

[root@gateway2 ~]# ntpdate time.clearsdn.com
13 Jan 15:22:39 ntpdate[21169]: no server suitable for synchronization found

A workaround is to use an unprivileged port

[root@gateway2 ~]# ntpdate -u time.clearsdn.com
13 Jan 15:22:44 ntpdate[21171]: adjust time server 132.163.4.101 offset -0.000106 sec

If the update to time should fail, this other method should be used or at least attempted.
