Ntpd Crash
Hi Guys
every day i have this strange problem, our NTPD.SERVICE crash and the date on server does forward one hour .
npt is properly configured, what could be the cause? . I have the same problem on 4 servers.
service ntpd status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status ntpd.service

Hello
I have not had that problem, but I see others reporting the lack of an ntpd group. Can you check the /etc/group/ file?
Just to confirm, you did check to see that chrony is not installed and active? It is the default for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 so worth asking that question.
The Disabling chrony section of the chapter on Configuring NTP Using ntpd in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 System Administrator's Guide might be useful.
