Services Status -NTPD- Reversed
-
ok, so it's been stuck for quite a while.
-
yeah, been stuck since i updated the firewall last night. whats weird is if I uncheck the box, it shows running under services and gives me this as an output for that command

Yes, when ntpdate_sync_once.sh runs it kills ntpd, syncs the time, and then restarts ntpd. If it gets stuck in the sync part, then it never restarts ntpd.
This is going to change here shortly, though. Don't bother investigating any more just yet.

Sweet, thanks pfSense team.

Try to apply this change (or wait for a new snap dated after this post):

Reboot after making changes?
-
That would be an ideal test, yes. At least kill all ntp and ntpdate processes and then edit/save the OpenNTPD settings.
Though a reboot would be the most accurate test.

Showing running on the services menu after making changes and rebooting.
Output of: "ps uxawww | grep ntp"

After updating to the latest snap, all is green on my machine.
Thanks a lot jimp! -
Should be good then, ntpd should always be running now, no ntpdate at all anymore.

Yes! Finally my network feels like Utopia again, many thanks JimP.
