You can't readily combine a restrict statement with using random timeservers from the NTP pool; you would need to list specific servers and add blank restrict statements for each server you trust. What you've configured is likely querying the 4 servers listed for time, but not trusting their responses so your clock never find a server which it is willing to sync to. Running "ntpq -p -c rv" would be informative.... Regards, -- -Chuck
