[cfarm-users] Migration of gcc119

[Michael Felt]

I have NTP service running (xntpd service on AIX). It is using the `time.osuosl.org` as timeserver. I’ll check back in a few days and see if it communicating. On other servers (AIX 7.1 and AIX 7.2) for unexplained reasons – the communication with this server stopped working consistently.

 

If it continues for AIX 7.3 I’ll point it at generic timeserver addresses – as they do work.

 

Regards,

Michael

Does OSUOSL possibly have an NTP server that can be used for the CF machines hosted there?

I have adjusted the time on gcc119 so that it is fairly close, but I agree that it should be using NTP for time synchronization.

 

Thanks, David

Thanks!

The system clock of this machine is 42 minutes backwards:
$ LC_ALL=C TZ=UTC date ; ssh gcc119.fsffrance.org <http://gcc119.fsffrance.org>  TZ=UTC date
Fri Aug 18 11:27:41 UTC 2023
Fri Aug 18 10:45:40 UTC 2023

Could this be fixed, please? Because in the current state, it means that after
creating a tarball of any package that uses a 'configure' script, I need to
wait 42 minutes until I can build it.

The best way to fix this would be to activate an ntp daemon, or equivalent, IMO.
Because with the older OS on the same machine, I often observed a clock shift
of 5 to 10 minutes, which was also somewhat annoying.
