      How do I force reinstall of the open ntpd package? It appears to be missing although there are 2 links to it in my menu.

        To clarify…..

        It is not listed in the packages menus. It is however listed twice under Services Menu.

        "NTP Server" and "OpenNTPD"

        both return the following page....

        Warning: fopen(/usr/local/pkg/openntpd.xml): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/inc/xmlparse.inc on line 158 Error: could not open XML input

          It's now one of the basefeatures of pfSense 1.2 so the package is gone. The problem is that you had it installed on upgrade.

          Try the following:

          • download the config.xml
          • edit it and delete the package section for ntpd
          • reupload the config.xml (system will reboot)

          If you still have issues reapply the 1.2 upgradefile again as the package now is gone from the config.xml.

            Yeah I got this sorted and you are correct.

            I had the actual package installed prior. Removing the package and then re-applying the 1.2R upgrade cleaned this up.
