On the new freebsd machine run the command 'ntptrace'. You'll probably see that the server sees itself as stratum 16. Depending on the hardware it make take a few hours to a few days to synchronize itself enough to start answering requests. If after a few days it's still at strat 16, check to see if there is an ntp.drift file (you did specify a location for the driftfile in ntp.conf, yes?). If so, kill xntpd and restart it. It should then come up ready to serve time after it's synched to its external time sources. Good luck, Doug -- "My mama told me, my mama said, 'don't cry.'
