Right.

Please gtdo the following

- http://people.freebsd.org/~roberto/{ntp-41,ntp-41-contrib}.tgz
- cd /usr/src/contrib
  mv ntp ontp
  tar xfz ntp-41-contrib.tgz
- cd /usr/src/usr.sbin
  mv ntp ontp
  tar xfz ntp-41.tgz
- cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/ntp
  make cleandir
  make cleandir
  make obj
  make depend
  make install

Now, have a minimal /etc/ntp.conf just like that :

-=-=-
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
server x.x.x.x
-=-=-

replacing x.x.x.x by a ntp server close to you.

Run "ntpd"

try a few commands like

ntpq -pn
ntpq -c rv
ntpdc -c listpeers
ntpdate -bd x.x.x.x
ntptime
and report me any error.

The current probleme I have is that ntpdc seems to generate bad packets.

203 [6:05] roberto@beast:usr.sbin/ntp> ntpdc/ntpdc -c listpeers
***Server reports a format error in the received packet (shouldn't happen)

whereas ntpq works fine:

204 [6:06] roberto@beast:usr.sbin/ntp> ntpq/ntpq -pn
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
