OK, I may be wrong again. If I start ntpd by hand on my gateway/firewall system it does indeed start and I am able to sync to that system from the other client systems on my network but when I do a ntpq on it and type "peers" the only thing listed there is the LOCAL (0) one. Unless I am mistaken it should also list the two other ntp servers I have configured in the ntp.conf file. Right?
