RH 9 & NTP server...

[jaredgalen]

I have a small program written in C using winsock v1, that uses a unix host to get the time.

I have two machines networked, one windows, the other red hat 9.
The windows machine will request the time off the RH one.

How can I configure red hat to reply to the time request, i.e act as an NTP server on its own. Both machines are totally kept off the internet(security reasons).
I don't really know much about this kind of thing so any help is greatly appreciated.

Aside from the currently available, free program "Automachron" you are certainly welcome to use your own app.

On the linux box, you'll need to implement 'ntpd' and it will respond to valid ntp requests from any client. There is a coniguration file that comes with ntpd in the /etc folder that will allows it to answer queries from approved hosts/nets.
