Hello Eric and Mats, Thank for your help! I enjoyed your discussion.
I have a home network with four work stations. Each work station has a static IP. I use ppp/pppoe to connect to the ISP. Over the years, I have developed a habit of entering the upstream DNS information on each work station while setting up the network connection and not entering the upstream DNS information in /etc/resolv.conf (this is how I got Dachstein to work in 2002). To get openntpd to work in 3.1-rc1, I chose was to edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the upstream DNS servers. Openntpd now works. I have also changed the settings on the work stations to get the upstream DNS servers from 192.168.1.254 I have one suggestion concerning Chapter 4. Configure a timeserver on LEAF Bering-uClibc (http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/bucu-ntp.html). As it is currently written: If you want to serve the exact time you get from pool.ntp.org (or whatever time service you haven chosen) to your local network, you have to add the ip address of the local interface in the with the keyword "listen". # Addresses to listen on (ntpd does not listen by default) #listen on * #listen on 127.0.0.1 #listen on ::1 listen 192.168.1.254 This last line should be: listen on 192.168.1.254 Thanks again.

When openntpd is started in the -s mode, I get the following: Running start command ... Starting openntpd: dispatch_imsg in main: pipe closed Lost child: child exited Terminating openntpd. The command failed. Usually this is due to an error in the configuration file. When openntpd is started in configtest mode (-n), I get the following: Running start command ... Starting openntpd: ntp engine ready imsg_get: Bad file descriptor ntp engine exiting Lost child: child exited Terminating openntpd. The command failed. Usually this is due to an error in the configuration file. The configuration files are as follows: /etc/default/openntpd # Uncomment to set the system time when starting in case the offset # between the local clock and the servers is more than 180 seconds. # For other options, see man ntpd(8).
