Two pfSense boxes and NTP
-
Trying to make pfSense-nano to get time from pfSense-1.2.3
On client I see
21 May 09:58:09 ntpdate[46964]: no server suitable for synchronization found
21 May 09:58:14 ntpdate[46967]: no server suitable for synchronization foundOn the server I see

Have you started the NTP server on pfSense?
Have you searched the forum? It's a known and much discussed issue that OpenNTPd takes some time (tens of minutes, maybe longer) to sync, unlike the ISC implementation.

Yes, I am sorry for posting. After an hour or so it is ok now.

No problem. It wouldn't happen if pfSense used ISC's version ;)
