I've tried the various recommended fixes with no success.
I don't know about openntpd, I am just conservative enough to use the standard ntp daemon from ntpd.lrp This one works reliably for me and I have not found a reason yet to change. I found the following settings work best for the ntp,conf and defaults: # /etc/ntp.conf, configuration for ntpd # ntpd will use syslog() if logfile is not defined #logfile /var/log/ntpd driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift statsdir /var/log/ntpstats/ statistics loopstats peerstats clockstats filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable # pool.ntp.org maps to more than 100 low-stratum NTP servers. # Your server will pick a different set every time it starts up. # *** Please consider joining the pool! *** # *** <http://www.pool.ntp.org/#join> *** server swisstime.ee.ethz.ch iburst server clock.tix.ch server ntp.univ-lyon1.fr # /etc/default/ntp # NTPD options NTPD_OPTS="-g" # should we wait for ntpd to be synchronized NTP_WAIT=YES NTP_WAIT_TIMEOUT=60 HTH Erich ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
