Introduction to NTPIn this how to we will be installing the NTP (network time protocol) daemon. |
We first start by installing ntp:
yum -y install ntp

chkconfig ntpd on
Lets now make sure our time is up to date on our server:
ntpdate 0.centos.pool.ntp.org
You should see an output like:
# ntpdate 0.centos.pool.ntp.org 6 Mar 12:39:40 ntpdate[19226]: step time server 208.68.36.129 offset 2.464276 sec
