I am trying to use ntpdsim tool from here: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/ntpdsim.html
First I installed the newest version, but it seems to work only with the new syntax, which you can find here: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/ntpdsim_new.html The problem is that I always get an error: "Configuring Simulator... Some ntpd-specific commands in the configuration file will be ignored. ERROR!! I couldn't find a "simulate" block for configuring the simulator. Ceck your configuration file."
So I installed an old version 4.2.2p3. This is working with the old syntax, e.g. ntpdsim -O 0.1 -C .001 -T 400 -W 1 -c ./ntp.conf But I get strange output. Only one line about T T+ERR and T+ERR+NTP
Perhaps I found the failure in the file ntp.conf. I have used the code which was suggested: disable kernel server pogo driftfile ./ntp.drift statsdir ./ntpstats/ filegen loopstats type day enable filegen peerstats type day enable
The line "server pogo" seems strange for me. I changed it to "server localhost" and now get more lines ouf output. But it seems not to work in the right way.
Can someone explain it?
