yes, it looks like they no longer offer ntp service (telnet to port 123 says Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused). I picked some other servers from http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2.htm, all of them respond to ntpdate: jojda:/home/erik# ntpdate cuckoo.nevada.edu 4 Aug 06:13:07 ntpdate[11054]: adjust time server 131.216.1.218 offset -0.002573 sec but when I use them in /etc/ntp.conf I get following log messges (after restarting ntpd):' 4 Aug 06:20:35 ntpd[11128]: frequency initialized -141.594 from /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift 4 Aug 06:20:35 ntpd[11128]: using kernel phase-lock loop 0041 4 Aug 06:20:35 ntpd[11128]: system event 'event_restart' (0x01) status 'sync_alarm, sync_unspec, 1 event, event_unspec' (0xc010) 4 Aug 06:20:35 ntpd[11131]: signal_no_reset: signal 17 had flags 4000000 4 Aug 06:20:52 ntpd[11128]: peer 63.192.96.2 event 'event_reach' (0x84) status 'unreach, conf, 1 event, event_reach' (0x8014) 4 Aug 06:20:52 ntpd[11128]: peer 131.144.4.27 event 'event_reach' (0x84) status 'unreach, conf, 1 event, event_reach' (0x8014) 4 Aug 06:20:53 ntpd[11128]: peer 165.227.1.1 event 'event_reach' (0x84) status 'unreach, conf, 1 event, event_reach' (0x8014) 4 Aug 06:20:53 ntpd[11128]: peer 158.121.104.4 event 'event_reach' (0x84) status 'unreach, conf, 1 event, event_reach' (0x8014) 4 Aug 06:20:53 ntpd[11128]: peer 140.221.9.20 event 'event_reach' (0x84) status 'unreach, conf, 1 event, event_reach' (0x8014) 4 Aug 06:20:53 ntpd[11128]: peer 130.126.24.53 event 'event_reach' (0x84) status 'unreach, conf, 1 event, event_reach' (0x8014) 4 Aug 06:20:53 ntpd[11128]: peer 128.46.103.93 event 'event_reach' (0x84) status 'unreach, conf, 1 event, event_reach' (0x8014) 4 Aug 06:20:54 ntpd[11128]: peer 198.68.212.30 event 'event_reach' (0x84) status 'unreach, conf, 1 event, event_reach' (0x8014) 4 Aug 06:20:54 ntpd[11128]: peer 132.239.255.209 event 'event_reach' (0x84) status 'unreach, conf, 1 event, event_reach' (0x8014) 4 Aug 06:20:55 ntpd[11128]: peer 192.73.48.1 event 'event_reach' (0x84) status 'unreach, conf, 1 event, event_reach' (0x8014) 4 Aug 06:20:55 ntpd[11128]: peer 131.216.1.218 event 'event_reach' (0x84) status 'unreach, conf, 1 event, event_reach' (0x8014) 4 Aug 06:20:55 ntpd[11128]: peer 199.240.130.12 event 'event_reach' (0x84) status 'unreach, conf, 1 event, event_reach' (0x8014) 4 Aug 06:20:55 ntpd[11128]: peer 128.101.101.101 event 'event_reach' (0x84) status 'unreach, conf, 1 event, event_reach' (0x8014) 4 Aug 06:25:12 ntpd[11128]: system event 'event_peer/strat_chg' (0x04) status 'sync_alarm, sync_ntp, 2 events, event_restart' (0xc621) 4 Aug 06:25:12 ntpd[11128]: system event 'event_sync_chg' (0x03) status 'leap_none, sync_ntp, 3 events, event_peer/strat_chg' (0x634) 4 Aug 06:25:12 ntpd[11128]: system event 'event_peer/strat_chg' (0x04) status 'leap_none, sync_ntp, 4 events, event_sync_chg' (0x643) any ideas what those mean?
