You can easily install NTP (Network Time Protocol, a means of transmitting time signals over a computer network) using yum command under Redhat or CentOS/Fedora core Linux.
Installation
yum install ntp
Turn on service
chkconfig ntpd on
Synchronize
the system clock with ntp.bri.connect.com.au server:
ntpdate ntp.bri.connect.com.au
Edit the following file to configure the NTP server(s) of choice.
/etc/ntp.conf
# --- OUR TIMESERVERS ----- # Use public servers from the pool.ntp.org project. # Please consider joining the pool (http://www.pool.ntp.org/join.html). server 0.centos.pool.ntp.org server 1.centos.pool.ntp.org server 2.centos.pool.ntp.org
For the people of Australia it may be a good idea to add the following to the pool.
server 0.oceania.pool.ntp.org server 1.oceania.pool.ntp.org server 2.oceania.pool.ntp.org server 3.oceania.pool.ntp.org
In the past I have been using:
ntp.bri.connect.com.au
I now combine all of them to be in the ntp.conf configuration file.
Starting
Start the NTP:
/etc/init.d/ntpd start
or
service ntpd start
