Try giving the '-u' argument to ntpdate... I needed that to get through a firewall when I used ntpdate to set the clock on my boxes. > I would be glad to know if there is another european FreeBSD sysadmin > who can tell me if he is capable or not to use ntp. For what its worth I am using ntp quite happily in three completely separate locations; and two of those are runnign a -STABLE from last week. The NTP servers are all in the UK: server 195.66.241.2 # ntp.linx.net server 195.66.241.3 # ntp.linx.net server 158.43.128.33 # ntp0.pipex.net server 158.43.128.66 # ntp1.pipex.net server 158.43.192.66 # ntp2.pipex.net server 194.72.6.51 # ntp0.bt.net server 194.74.77.190 # ntp1.bt.net server 194.72.6.60 # ntp2.bt.net -pcf.
