You are using an old version of ptpd, probably one that was bundled with Ubuntu. There is no support for a configuration file in 2.2.x. You need to install the latest stable version which is 2.3.1. You can download it from here, but any subsequent releases will be available from GitHub (http://github.com/ptpd/ptpd). You are going into master because you didn't set it to be slave only, and it is running the default state machine which is:
when we are best master or no other master present, become slave,
when we are not the best master, become slave to the best master
Have you actually got a PTP master running on your network?
Thanks,

Thanks for a quick look.
Actually i just started with PTPd .It is my second day with it :)
Yes i ran my machine as ptpd Master and slave on another Machine and recorded Wireshark Messages(Sync, follow_up etc).
i ran this command and it worked.
ptpd -C -i eth0 -gGW master
This time I want to make my machine as Slave.
I just want to know the command , how to run it in Slave Mode.
And After Installing 2.3.1, where is the Configuration file located.
is it like /etc/config something like this.
May be I am missing something here .
Kind Regards
