I installed NTPD on Megatron (its Ubuntu, so different from the CentOS workstations). Here's the terminal cap to show that its actually working:
megatron:/etc>sudo /etc/init.d/ntp restart
* Stopping NTP server ntpd [ OK ]
* Starting NTP server ntpd [ OK ]
megatron:/etc>/etc/init.d/ntp status
* NTP server is running
megatron:/etc>ntpq -p

Along the way, I also updated the /etc/inet/ntp.conf file for nodus. It was using the USNO as a NTP server and I've pointed it to the Caltech NTP server as per the IMSS NTP page. |
