Add: xntpd_enable="YES" xntpd_flags="-l /var/log/ntpd.log" # with logging to /etc/rc.conf (this flag is different in 5.0 mind for anyone else that tries this on 5.0) and then configure ntpd in /etc/ntpd.conf: server ntp2a.mcc.ac.uk # choose a server near you obviously :) driftfile /etc/ntp.drift I think you might have to 'touch /etc/ntp.drift' initially - same with /var/log/ntpd.log. > My server is located in the USA, in case one would like to suggest some > good servers to synchronise with. :-) As mentioned above check the official ntpd site - or even just google for 'ntpd server usa'.
