We have several linux and windows boxes and some of their clocks will drift. Is there a quick way to set up one of these systems as a time server and have the others point to them? This will need to work on a stand alone network. The OSs are specifically XP and RHEL5 for this exercise.

    You can set up a NTP Server on one of the Linux machines and have the others point to it.

    Connect to the NTP-Server in Redhat:

    • ntpdate -du ntpservername

    Connect to the NTP-Server in Windows XP:

    • Right click on the clock in the system tray
    • Choose adjust time
    • On the internet time tab insert your server hostname
