2067.0. "Trucluster + OPS -> ntp protocol problem" by VAXRIO::LEO () Fri May 16 1997 16:33

Hi,

	I have a Trucluster Production Server + OPS environment. 

	The whole environment is compound of 2 AlphaServer 4100 running
Digital UNIX 4.0a.

	Everything is going fine.

	In fact almost evrything...

	Sometimes the environment becomes very slow.

	I have noted that every time it happens it is caused by a time
difference between both machines. 

	The ntp protocol identifies a greater than 15 seconds difference.

	So if I issue ntp -s <name-of-the-other-server> in each one of 
both machines, the performance gets improved again.

	The machines are never rebooted.

	But some days later the same thing occurs again.

	Is there any fix to that ?

	Is this problem already known?

	Any help would be very appreciated.

	Thanks in advance.

	Best regards,

    Hi Leo,
    
    Can you give us your xntp setup?
