6.8.2UNIX System Log Files

In its native UNIX environment, NTP uses the host system’s system log facilities to send reports to the operating system log files. Refer to your specific system’s documentation to learn how to check the system log reports.

Monitor the host’s system message log for status messages from the NTP task. A sample sequence of log entries generated by the NTPD daemon at startup are shown below:

May 3 17:42:27 terrapin ntpd[4032]: ntpd 4.0.92h Mon May 3 14:28:00 PDT 1999

May 3 17:42:28 terrapin ntpd[4032]: precision = 25 usec
