I've followed the gentoo wiki HOWTO for ntp: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_MythTV#NTP As well as many other sources over the months. Basically, ntpq shows that I am not synchronized to any peers: # ntpq -p remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== Time4.Stupi.SE .PPS. 1 u 37 64 377 124.516 -11202. 1225.91 thesimonet.org .TRUE. 1 u 38 64 377 109.329 -11213. 1232.51 fin.rshell.net 192.114.62.249 3 u 32 64 377 205.910 -9569.1 1521.31 titan.cais.rnp. 32.233.177.224 2 u 44 64 377 165.240 -11991. 1915.26 That first space in the peers list is a tally mark that, according to the ntpq documentation at: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/ntpq.html Means that those peers are all rejected: "The peer is discarded as unreachable, synchronized to this server (synch loop) or outrageous synchronization distance." Likewise: # ntpq -c rv | grep stratum processor="i686", system="Linux/2.6.14-gentoo-r5", leap=11, stratum=16, I should be at stratum 3, not 16 (which means I'm not synchronized to anything). My /etc/ntp.conf: tinker panic 0 minpoll 4 maxpoll 10 server pool.ntp.org server 0.pool.ntp.org server 1.pool.ntp.org server 2.pool.ntp.org driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift logfile /var/log/ntp.log restrict default nomodify nopeer restrict 127.0.0.1 Nothing special there! To further clarify, I actually have this problem on *two* machines. FWIW, I've also tried the OpenBSD OpenNTP package, but haven't had any luck with that either (except on my OpenBSD machine!). Using OpenNTP on these two machines *seemed* to work fine, but the computers still gained time too quickly. I've been fighting this for what seems like forever. If anyone has any insight or thoughts, I'm happy to hear it! Thanks, Matt -- Matt Garman email at: http://raw-sewage.net/index.php?file=email -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
