Yes, I know, my message said it was complaining about what appear to be arp addresses ( I think they are also referred to as MAC addresses) I will try to reproduce an error message if I can get one to come up now. Last night I edited ntp.conf to comment out a time server that was not responding to pings but did turn up a dig response. The ntpd did give me these messages, so just to get it out of my hair for a while I killed it. Some time later I restarted it with the command line presented in the FBSD handbook telling how to start the server. It did not give me anymore problems. Another poster requested I send the output from "ntpq -p". ntpq -p remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ======================================================================== ====== 2610:1f8:d8:2:2 .INIT. 16 u - 64 0 0.000 0.000 4000.00 2001:4830:1210: .INIT. 16 u - 64 0 0.000 0.000 4000.00 hydrogen.cert.u 164.67.62.194 2 u 10 64 3 13.909 -261.61 2.936 pubts2-sj.witim 64.125.78.85 2 u 8 64 3 20.023 -256.60 2.883 Here are the console messages: ntpd (706) send to(2610:1f8:d8:2:216:cbff:fea3:4b2e:) no route to host " " " (2001:4830:1210:0;280:10ff:fe00:48b9) " #are these ipv6 addresses?
