I haven't experienced the issue with stratum, but sometimes it was unreachable. I've thought it denies the synchronization request while slewing the server's time, doesn't it? As for the network, anything else is working and the port 123 is open in the packet filter. As for the DNS problem, thanks. I don't know what's wrong, however.

Ohh, how lame I am. :) I've forgotten about it. Thanks. Cheers, Gabor Kvvesdan

OpenNTPd issue
Hello, as I see OpenNPTd doesn't have a seprated mailing list, but we can say it is an OpenBSD-related software, that's why I'm writing here, but actually I use FreeBSD. So, I've installed OpenNTPd from ports collection, and it synchronizes my servers time correctly, but I can't sync to the server. I've tried it with a windows-client, and the error message was the following: The time sample was rejected because: The peer's stratum is less than the host's stratum. I don't know the NTP protocol on depth, but I need a quick solution for this. Do You have any idea why it doesn't work with windows? Unfortunately, I haven't had an opportunity to try it with a unix-like client, maybe this is just some kind of incompatibility. Could You test it please? The server's domain is: time.t-hosting.hu. Regards, Gabor Kvvesdan

OpenNTPD 3.6.1 had some problems with stratum calculations... It was fixed in the latest version, 3.7. Try to use the latest version, 3.7, and then see if the problem still exists.
