NTP clients wont sync with pfsense
-
I've enabled ntpd on pfsense and set it up to sync with the public pfsense time servers (0.pfsense.pool.ntp.org 1.pfsense.pool.ntp.org). However neither windows nor linux will sync with it and I can't figure out why. Anyone have any insights?
Here is my linux client output:

Try changing the ntp servers on pfsense to something different than *.pfsense.pool.ntp.org.

What version of pfSense?
If you're on 2.0.2 or 2.1, check Status > NTP, make sure it has one 'active peer' listed.
I was just able to sync time from/to a 2.1 and 2.0.2 VM…

I upgraded from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 and changed to using non-pfsense time servers and it's working now, not sure which change fixed it.
Thanks for the help.

The ntp daemon changed on 2.0.2 (2.0.1 and earlier used openntpd, now we use the ntp.org daemon), so I'd say that was it.
