NTP config question

[linedancer888]

Hi All,

Can I configure NTP on one of our servers to be 15 seconds of the time server? If so how would I do this?

thanks

why would want to do that??

According to our former Unix admin, this server has to be the same or ahead of another server that we get lab orders from, and this server is an outside our company. He wants to be on the safe side. Currently our server is 2-3 minutes ahead of the time server, so there is no issue.

if that isi the case don't run ntp let the server self clock since you don't want the correct time anyway

That's probably what we're going to have to do.

Thanks
