title: ntpdate - no server suitable for synchronization found
body: <p>I am working on ntp. I have to connect to some external NTP server to get my system date updated. The issue is that ntpd Daemon is always using my local clock (127.127.1.0) and it is not using the NTP server that I have provided in ntp.conf. I am using 123.108.225.6 as NTP server and I am able to ping this IP. For the purpose of testing i executed ntpdate but i got the following result.</p>
  
  <pre><code>[root@commander_a ~]# sudo ntpdate -dv 123.108.225.6

  <p>I find it strange that "originate timestamp" it is taking some old time. It is not my local system time.</p>
  
  <h2>originate timestamp: 00000000.00000000  Sun, Dec 31 1899 18:00:00.000</h2>
  
  <h2>ntp.conf</h2>
  
  <p>disable stats

  <p>I have spent lot of time finding the solution, But i didnt succeeded. 
  Please help me !!</p>
