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>"
FWIW... after checking the man pages, I think ntpdate is being
deprecated some time in the near future.
ntpd should be used. So here is what I now have in my rc.conf:
ntpd_enable="YES"
ntpd_flags="-q"
/etc/ntp.conf contains exactly one line:
server north-america.pool.ntp.org
Works fine.
Also... another thought. You might try disabling IPv6 unless you need
it. (remove 'options INET6' from kernconf)
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.
