Unexplained timing (NTP) issues on systems connecting to Active Directory
Issue
-
We're seeing unexplainable issues with the system clock jumping around. The
ntpdwill appear to sync at some point and then the time will jump andntpqreports a huge amount jitter along with a crazy new offset. It's almost like something else is changing the time.[root@localhost]# date; hwclock; service ntpd stop; ntpd -qg; date; hwclock; service ntpd start; sleep 30; ntpq -pn; sleep 150; echo -e "-------------\n0+2.5 minutes"; date; hwclock; ntpq -pn;sleep 150; echo -e "-------------\n0+5 minutes"; date; hwclock; ntpq -pn; sleep 300; echo -e "-------------\n0+10 minutes"; date; hwclock; ntpq -pn Thu Jul 26 15:24:26 EDT 2012 Thu 26 Jul 2012 03:32:59 PM EDT -0.938183 seconds Shutting down ntpd: [ OK ] ntpd: time set +511.401889s Thu Jul 26 15:33:05 EDT 2012 Thu 26 Jul 2012 03:33:07 PM EDT -0.867189 seconds Starting ntpd: [ OK ] remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== 192.168.19.71 .GPS. 1 u 29 64 1 0.605 0.002 0.001 192.168.19.72 .GPS. 1 u 28 64 1 0.511 -0.047 0.001 ------------- 0+2.5 minutes Thu Jul 26 15:36:06 EDT 2012 Thu 26 Jul 2012 03:36:08 PM EDT -0.958181 seconds remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== 192.168.19.71 .GPS. 1 u 50 64 7 0.605 0.002 0.120 192.168.19.72 .GPS. 1 u 52 64 7 0.511 -0.047 0.265 ------------- 0+5 minutes Thu Jul 26 15:30:06 EDT 2012 Thu 26 Jul 2012 03:38:39 PM EDT -0.988382 seconds remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== 192.168.19.71 .GPS. 1 u 9 64 77 0.605 0.002 323419. *192.168.19.72 .GPS. 1 u 9 64 77 0.511 -0.047 323419. ------------- 0+10 minutes Thu Jul 26 15:35:07 EDT 2012 Thu 26 Jul 2012 03:43:40 PM EDT -0.991733 seconds remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== 192.168.19.71 .GPS. 1 u 57 64 377 0.762 511370. 273338. 192.168.19.72 .GPS. 1 u 50 64 377 0.857 511370. 273338.
