Hi everyone, I am trying to setup an ntpd to use the local clock as the "reference source" and so I can set the time to late June and verify 1) what ntpd does and 2) what clients do.
I had it working with the 4.2.4 that comes with FreeBSD 10.1 (and the local clock), but I wanted to use 4.2.8 since that's what is supported (and because of the better, I think, support for the leap second list file). With 4.2.4 then I could configure ntpd with this and it'd serve time to clients: server 127.127.1.1 minpoll 4 maxpoll 5 fudge 127.127.1.1 stratum 4 WIth 4.2.8 it never thinks it's in sync with that configuration. I've also tried with variations of tos orphan 3 orphanwait 2 and "tos orphan" plus the local clock. Finally then I've tried adding a bogus server (one that never responds) on a server line in case ntpd really wants to try reaching a real clock before it'll give up and trust the local clock, but I keep getting "127.0.0.1: Server dropped: Server has gone too long without sync" from ntpd. What am I missing?
