Nvm, I solved it by using busybox's ntp for the time being.

Yep, that was there. The interesting part is that it works for the first time after a while, and it gets broken when I try to set the "date" explicitly by the corresponding command. For some reason, ntp cannot sync afterwards. Reboot and/or restarting the daemons may help though. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
