What I have in rc.conf is ### Network Time Services options: ### xntpd_enable="YES" xntpd_program="ntpd" xntpd_flags="-p /var/run/ntpd.pid" I have a ntp.conf that looks like server time.nist.gov prefer server 127.127.1.0 fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 driftfile /etc/ntp.drift It works. I have an alias in root that set it the first time. It looks like setdate (/usr/local/sbin/rdate -s time.u.washington.edu) I used to dial in and run setdate and then use adjdate to correct the time factors. The system gets +/- ~.5 seconds and it corrects itself. I have all of my FreeBSD and Windows 2K machines pointing to my gateway. It doesn't have any problems with the firewall and the rest don't have any problem geting the time from it. Most of what I have is straight out of "man ntpd".
