Here's my (masked) ntpd.conf and rc.conf goodies: drue@panther:~$ cat /etc/rc.conf | grep ntpd ntpd_enable="YES" # Run ntpd Network Time Protocol (or NO). drue@panther:~$ cat /etc/ntp.conf # VISI server 209.98.0.1 server 209.98.98.1 # U of Minnesota server 128.101.101.101 peer ***.***.***.*** drue@panther:~$ FWIW, the time is correct on the machine - I did an ntpd -g to synchronize it the first time. Oh, and the other thing is that I have ntp set up the exact same way on a dozen other machines without problems (same or similar ntpd.conf). Any ideas what those log messages even mean? tia, dan
