Hello Matt Cartter, your problem is due to the fact that Openntpd is using /etc/resolv.conf, which in the default setting is pointing to the interior address 192.168.1.254. Unfortunately, Dnsmasq is in its default setting (of Bering) not propagating the external nameserver from /etc/dhcp/resolv.conf, so Openntpd has no access to any external time server, and thus produces those error messages. The simplest remedy is to activate name resolution:
resolv-file=/etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf in /etc/dnsmasq.conf. Then Openntpd will be operational from boot time. I have suggested this default value to KP Kirchdörfer. We will have to wait and see whether it does get implemented.
