That is from my ubuntu box, I turn off built in time stuff on my window clients and run true ntp.. And it has no issues.

If I recall correctly – this
"leap 11"
Means your server is not in sync, so no your client will not sync to it. You need to figure out why your server is not sync'd -- yup logs would help!! I wish they would just go with the standard full ntpd vs that openntpd crap ;)
doesnt freebsd come with ntpd, whey does pfsense run openntpd vs and actual full ntp server?
