So here is what I now have in my rc.conf: ntpd_enable="YES" ntpd_flags="-q" /etc/ntp.conf contains exactly one line: server north-america.pool.ntp.org Works fine. Also... another thought. You might try disabling IPv6 unless you need it. (remove 'options INET6' from kernconf) > > HTH. > >> config file in /etc/ntp.conf.
