Hi people.
I've got a server running FreeBSD 8.1 with the included ntpd 4.2.4p5
Yes, I know it's not the latest version, but it's well firewalled and
the security restrictions are in place to prevent it being used in
DDOS attacks.
The problem I am having is that it is stuck on polling the upstream
stratum 1 servers it uses as a sanity check every 64 seconds. (it's
main source is a Garmin GPS 18x with PPS, based on the excellent
guides by David Taylor and Ryan Doyle).
I did have minpoll 6 maxpoll 10, which should allow it to reduce the
polling interval to 1024s, and I've now tried removing the explicit
settings to allow it to use the default, but it is still sticking on
that 64s polling time.
I've left it 24 hours on both the default and explicitly defined
settings, with no positive result on either.
I don't really want to set the minpoll too high, as it takes such a
long time to synchronise after rebooting or restarting ntpd.
I'd prefer to be a good netizen and not hammer the upstream servers as
hard as that, but it isn't playing.
It used to, before I installed the Garmin and turned it into a stratum
1 server.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Hi
I'm stuck at the minpoll rate set in the server line for each
particular source.
I've not considered it a bug.
Ntpd version 4.2.7p444@1.2483-o on NetBSD/6.1, distfile is
downloaded from ntp.org then built and run from /usr/local. The
ntp-dev version conflicts with stock NetBSD version and I have
edited /etc/rc.d/ntpd to point to /usr/local.
Version of ntpd you have, 4.2.4p5, is very old but it should be
easy for you to update either from FreeBSD ports or as I have
done from the ntp.org source tarball:
