It appears, from the ntpq banner, that ntpd has been running for, at most, three or four minutes! Ntpd has selected a synchronization source but has not yet corrected a very substantial offset. Let that run for at least thirty minutes and show us the output of ntpq -peers again. If that display was taken after ntpd had been running for more that three or four minutes, there is something wrong with your internet connection. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
