you will see the ntpq.exe command prompt:
ntpq>
Use the command
peers
to display the NTP peers which your computer is using. One of them should be the Sonoma server
which you have just congured. You should verify that it is being ‘reached’. (You may have to con-
tinue issuing the peers command for a minute or two before you will see the ‘reach’ count increment.)
If you are using authentication, you can verify that authentication is being used by issuing the com-
mand
associations
to display the characteristics of the client server associations. In the “auth” column of the display,
you should see “OK” for the row corresponding to the Sonoma server. If you see “bad”, you should
wait a few minutes to be sure that there is a problem since “bad” is the initial state of this setting. If
the “bad” indication persists then you must check your conguration for errors. Typically this is due
to a typing error in creating the ntp.keys le on the client that causes a mismatch between the keys
being used by the server and client. (If you transfer the le by ftp or scp, this shouldn’t be a prob-
lem.) It is also possible to have a typing error in the ntp.conf le that causes the needed key to not be
included in the “trustedkey” list.
