Greetings everyone,
I'm not a professional when it comes to computers. I consider myself a hobbyist; and very much a sincere Linux enthusiast. I have a fairly extensive network for my home and home office, and recently I have began to coordinate my network to a single NTP server on my network. My box is SuSE 12.2; I'm able to use it just fine as a stratum 2 NTP server - I'm using a USNO peer. However, I'm becoming greedy with my seeking of furthering my understanding of NTP and I have been wanting to use a small GPS device ( DeLorme Earthmate BT-20) to turn my server to stratum 1.
I've used open streets with my GPS and it seems to work fine. However, I can't seem to get the YaST NTP Configuration to recognize that I have an attached NMEA compliant device. I have set the drivers to "generic NMEA GPS Receiver"; I create a symlink - "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-DeLorme_Publishing_DeLorme_USB_Earthmate-if00-port0". BUT... when I display the log, I get:
ntpd[3453]: ntpd exiting on signal 15
ntpd[4407]: refclock_open /dev/gps0: No such file or directory
ntpd[4407]: 127.127.20.0 interface 127.0.0.1 -> (none)
I Thank You, if anyone out there in SuSE land can help me with this. Please try to keep it simple for me, as I'm not a computer professional.
Respectfully
Justin
PS - I'm posting in the Network/Internet forum because the word "network" makes up the title "network time protocol."
