    I am trying to change which server is used by xntp to get time.

    in my /etc/ntp.conf I have changed the following lines:

    ##
    ## Outside source of synchronized time
    ##
    ## server xx.xx.xx.xx # IP address of server
    server ntp-uh.usno.navy.mil

    TO:

    ##
    ## Outside source of synchronized time
    ##
    ## server xx.xx.xx.xx # IP address of server
    server now.cis.okstate.edu

    BUT, when I try to do a restart on xntp it is still trying to use the old
    server:

    # ./xntpd stop
    Shutting network time protocol daemon (NTPD)
    done
    # ./xntpd start
    Try to get initial date and time via NTP from ntp-uh.usno.navy.milError : Name
    or service not known
                                                                                                                failed
    Starting network time protocol daemon (NTPD)
    done

    Anyone know how to make this use the new server for time/date lookup????

    BTW, I have also tried with the I.P. address of the new server and that
    doesn't work either.
    Thanks,
    Darrell
