Hello, all,
I am a relatively new freeBSD user. The problem I describe below happens on
both a 5.4 install and a 6.0 RC1 install.

Are you intending on running an NTP daemon? Or are you just trying to
sync your clock with an NTP source? If the later, try adding the
following to your rc.conf:
ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_flags="<your_fav_ntp_server_here>"
HTH.
config file in /etc/ntp.conf. When I reboot, I get this message:
Oct 22 10:40:57 alter ntpd[392]: ntpd 4.2.0-a Sun Oct 9 18:33:33 UTC 2005
(1)
Oct 22 10:40:57 alter ntpd[392]: bind() fd 6, family 28, port 123, addr
fe80:1::202:55ff:fe58:2957, in6_is_addr_multicast=0 flags=0 fails: Can't
assign requested address
Then ntpd does not synchronize the time. I set the clock manually (using
date) five minutes ahead to check and in fact it does not get adjusted.
I have tried all sorts of things. I tried assigning numeric addresses rather
than host names in the config file. I tried enabling ipv6 in sysinstall.
This machine does have a good route to the internet - I can use nslookup to
resolve host names, so I know the networking is working.
Below I have quoted the ntp.conf. The log file is empty - nothing is being
written there.
Does anyone have any ideas? I am stumped... thanks for your help.
