Obviously I'm too stupid to configure ntpd by myself. Thanks for all the effort. I have watched ntpd do its magic for an hour, now. And it seems to aim at running my clock half a second behind the server clocks. Maybe I just didn't watch long enough, I understand that ntpd is trying to figure out how much my clock goes wrong and only adjusts time very slowly. > Demanding to replace ntpd with openntpd in the FreeBSD > base system because you cannot get the configuration right > is ridiculous. I wasn't really demanding, but saying that I'd (personally) prefer openntpd. And my original argument still stands, it's much simpler than ntpd and though I lack the intelligence to configure ntpd, it suffices for openntpd. Seeing that nobody seems to agree with me, I'm happy with running openntpd from ports.home | help
