I think it's not ntp's fault. The very first thing you should check is, if the empty file /etc/wall_cmos_clock exists. It must only exist, when your computer's BIOS clock is set to local time or you will experience offsets in time. Though, it is recommended to have the BIOS clock set to GMT (and not to localtime) and /etc/wall_cmos_clock removed in case it exists. Timezone must be set correctly, to where you live. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
