      I have troubleshooted and read around on these forum and other, but I cannot understand what the problem is. I have added a pool server and from the picture below can you see it has 5 servers and have identify delay, but ntpd is not updateing the time ???

      If I use "ntpdate -v -b no.pool.ntp.org" the is updating to be correct.....

          Application, pfSense is running on ODROID-H2.

          It's something strange... the time is resetting itself or something because it was 23:XX something when it went to bed yesterday and toda its 23:46:30 UTC 2019......

          When I set it manaly in shell I got these error:

          I know there is something wrong with the Bios time also, because I have adjusted it and then after a while its wrong... The CMOS battery is new.

          Is the date and time and ntpd use the bios clock at all ? can it be that ntpd is in conflict with a bios time who has problem ?

          Please let me know if you need more information / logs.

          Today have I tested:

          1. Checked UTC time on google.
          2. Update it manually according within some seconds:

          3. Restarted the NTPD service in pfsense.
          4. Got a lot of offsett instant, how can that be?
