Re: NTP (not SNTP) on the System i ?

Just go to a green screen type CHGNTPA F4 and fill the parameters.

A copy & paste of my configuration:

The i is set up as client and server. The internal users poit to it to
sync time.

0.pool.ntp.org, 1, 2 are generic NTP servers, you shoulg ping them to
see if they work at your place, otherwise google for NTP servers at your
place.

I need to meet a government requirement that says my System i must use

support for
SNTP but the requirements state that SNTP ("simple" network time
protocol)
is not sufficient. One of the reasons given is that SNTP allows you to
define multiple time servers on the Internet but it uses a round robin
approach such that if one server is down it goes to the next. With NTP,
apparently multiple servers are considered by the protocol and it
determines
which is the most accurate.


We've tried to demonstrate to the governing body the SNTP support
along with
the log files it creates as it adjusts the time but they've justsaid
no so
we're looking for other ways to implement NTP on the System i.


Any suggestions anyone?
