Configuring an NTP server for automatic time sync for all network hosts
by LXCnut from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53KGG)
I have an ntp server running on ubuntu. It is working ok when I configure the client /etc/ntphosts file for clients. The clients are able to sync with the server.
However, my actual goal is to have all network hosts connected to my network get the time from this ntp server. Yes I would like this to include different hosts running different OSs. I have searched for ways to implement but still haven't found any. If I configure it to broadcast, I still have to configure the client to be a broadcast client. This scenario of having to manually configure a client is what I would like to avoid 100%. This is attributed to the fact that the clients are in the thousands.
Will really appreciate input on this...
