Alternatively, from the commandline try ntpd -g -q -c /etc/ntp.conf The -g flag allows ntpd to set the clock once regardless of the offset and the -q causes it to quit after setting the time. In /etc/rc.conf, all you should need is ntpd_enable="YES" ntpd_sync_on_start="YES" The second option adds -g to the ntpd flags, allowing it to set the clock at startup and continue running.
