OpenNTPD configuration
-
I am trying to use the OpenNTPD as a time server for my network and am having difficulty.
I have an NTP time server specified in System: General Setup and pfSense seems to be updating its own time correctly.
Under Services: OpenNTPD I have enable checked and LAN selected.It seems that NTP requests aren't responded to by the daemon. If I forward port 123 to a known working NTP server, the machines in my network do receive replies. I'd of course rather have them querying my own NTP server, is there a step that I am missing?
-
After it's started, wait. It takes a long time for OpenNTPd to provide time - tens of minutes. Personally I'm unimpressed with it (though not unimpressed enough to get around to looking at porting the ISC NTPd to pfSense).
-
ah, patience was the step I was missing. Thanks, it's working now.

I enabled the OpenNTPD service yet it does not display under "Status: Services".
I used the command "ps -aux" and found;
_ntp 91800 0.0 0.2 1344 1056 ?? S 8:50AM 0:00.07 ntpd: ntp engine
