Strange NTP Server problem
-
My pfSense box is configured to take clock from my ISP NTP server. And this part works fine…
I saw message like
ntpdate[454]: step time server x.x.x.x offset 0.893096 sec
in log fileI enabled NTP server on pfSense 1.2 on LAN interface and tried to sync my linux pc with pfSense box but w/o sucess… Here are the debug log (command is executed on pfSense box with lan ip 192.168.100.1)
$ ntpdate -vqd 192.168.100.1

–---------------------------------------------So... the server looks in sync (startum 3, my ISP server is startum 2) but declare that is not synchronized (leap bits set to 11)?
Any ideas how to fix this ?

You'll find other threads on this, the OpenBSD NTP server takes a long time (tens of minutes) before it syncs. IMO it's far, far, poorer than the stock ISC version. On the other hand, I've not been bothered enough by it to actually look to creating a package ;)
