9.3 General

This section provides solutions to generic problems you might encounter.

Unable to configure NTPv3 as time client

Action: Make sure the time provider is broadcasting/multicasting its service.
Action: Make sure time sources are in synchronization.
Action: If you have localhost as loopback, ensure that you specify a higher stratum for the loopback so that it has lower precedence than the other time source.

Unable to open the ntp.log file using Edit

Action: You might not be able to open the ntp.log file if it was created for the first time. Subsequent loads of XNTPD would not cause this issue.
