I've been running xntpd on two FreeBSD machines, and they have neither synched up with the outside ntp servers nor each other. Here's what the /etc/ntp.conf's look like on each: Machine #1 (P200, FreeBSD 2.2.6-R, 10BT LAN, T1 Backbone, address is XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX) driftfile /etc/ntp.drift server tick.usno.navy.mil server pi.bellcore.com restrict default ignore restrict YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY mask 255.255.255.255 Machine #2 (486DX/50, FreeBSD 2.2.8-R, 56K(ish) dialup to the same network, address is YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY) driftfile /etc/ntp.drift server XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX restrict default ignore restrict XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX mask 255.255.255.255 As a control, there is also Machine #3 (P133, FreeBSD 2.2.1-R, same LAN and backbone as XXX) running `/usr/sbin/ntpdate -b tick.usno.navy.mil pi.bellcore.com` hourly from cron. `date` given by Machine #1 is: Fri Jan 22 12:09:36 CST 1999 `date` given by Machine #2 is: Fri Jan 22 12:04:57 CST 1999 `date` given by Machine #3 is: Fri Jan 22 12:05:23 CST 1999 (Human delay can account for no more than 2 seconds difference.) Machine #3 is the only machine that seems to be getting the right time. Killing xntpd and setting the time manually with ntpdate correctly sets the time. I need xntpd running on Machine #1 to sync our terminal servers so I can't rely on ntpdate. The drift file is touched by xntpd hourly, but remains 0.000 0 on both machines. I let them run a week to let xntpd do it's thing, but they're not working like (I think) they're supposed to. Help? :) Please cc: me personally, I unsub'd from the list long ago. -===================================================================- Jeremy Shaffner JORSM Internet Senior Technical Support Northwest Indiana's Premium jer@jorsm.com Internet Service Provider support@jorsm.com http://www.jorsm.com -===================================================================- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
