Thanks abhijeet,
But why it is showing differently (stratum 1 and stratum 2) ? (Pls see my previous post, where I have shown all data)

Glad to know you got it going -- one last thing, though...

See if you can find the actual start-up, shut-down script in the initialization directories in /etc. It may be located in /etc/rc.d, /etc/rcn.d, /etc/init.d or some such (it's the file that is executed at boot and shutdown). If you ever need to fiddle with /etc/ntp.conf again, execute that file (as root) with a "stop" or "restart" argument (that will kill the currently running NTP daemon. You may want to edit the logging into that file (/tmp/ntp.log won't get that large and if there's a problem it's a convenient place to look for what's what). Makes life a little easier.

Glad you got it going.

Yes, I am aware about it. I twill manage start/stop with logging.

But why it is showing differently (stratum 1 and stratum 2) ? (Pls see my previous post, where I have shown all data)
I am asking this just for sake of knowledge.

There's a pretty concise explanation of stratum 0, stratum 1 and stratum 2 servers at http://www.endruntechnologies.com/stratum1.htm. There's also a pretty good article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol; everything worth knowing about NTP.

It looks like the server you're using as a time source is a stratum 1 server (your system, by default, is stratum 2).

I do not understand what is the "::1" mean in error log
Can anybody help me? Thank you very much.

Hi newych,

I do not know much about your error. But could you please try the below configuration.
Remove your old file and just use these 4 lines in your ntp.conf

Then run the below commands

Verify, after waiting for around 5 mins by
ntpq -pn and post your output here.

Hi vikas027,
After run ntpq -pn 64.90.182.55, i got following result:
ntpq -pn 64.90.182.55
