Hello,
Thanks for your reply. My server box does indeed have ntpd running i
confirmed it with ps -aux and it does have a pf firewall. The rules are:
# allow UDP requests to port 123 from firewall to exit ext_if_if
# in order to contact internet ntp servers
# (keep state on this connection)
pass out quick on $ext_if inet proto { tcp, udp} from $ext_if to any port
123 keep state
# allow UDP requests to ports 67, 68, and 123 from # in order to perform
dhcp and ntp queries on the firewall
# ( Keep state on this connection)
pass in quick on $int_if inet proto { tcp,udp } from $int_net to $int_if
port { 67, 68, 123 } keep state
and ntpdc shows me a prompt.
Hope this helps.
Dave.

Hello,
Has ntp handling changed in 6.0-RELEASE? I've been through the
handbook and /etc/defaults/rc.conf but haven't found the answer to
this. I've got a machine acting as an ntp server for a network. When i
run ntpdate -b <IP> from another machine i get the error "No servers
suitable for synchronization found". Ntpd from these other boxes shows
the same. From the local ntp server to the ntp servers on the internet
works fine.
The local ntp server's configuration is as follows:
/etc/rc.conf
ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_flags="-b servername"
ntpd_enable="YES"
ntpd_flags="-c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid"
ntp.conf
server servername prefer
server servername
servername
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
restrict 192.168.9.0 mask 255.255.255.0 notrust nomodify notrap
and on client boxes:
/etc/rc.conf
ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_flags="-b local ntp server IP"
ntpd_enable="YES"
ntpd_flags="-c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid"
/etc/ntp.conf
server local-ntp-server-ip prefer
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
Is there an ntpd running?
Is there a firewall in the way?
What does ntpdc tell you?
