LINUX Network Time Protocol Service

The LINUX Network Time Protocol Service is used to provide NTP on the sipXecs server.

RedHat files of interest:

/etc/ntp.conf
/var/lib/ntp/drift
/etc/sysconfig/ntpd
/etc/ntp/step-tickers

SUSE files of interest:

/etc/ntp.conf
/etc/sysconfig/ntp

Commands of interest:

service ntpd restart  (used if ntp.conf updated)
ntpq -p localhost     (queries the time synchronization status)

Generation of sipXecs NTP files

The initial installation of sipXecs creates the ntp.conf file. When a distributed sipXecs server is created its time is automatically synchronized with the primary sipXecs server in order to ensure that the certificate time/date is valid.
