Hi, Ever since I upgraded from 5.2.1-RELEASE to 5.3-RELEASE, I've been getting the following error on boot: ntpd[380]: bind() fd 7, family 28, port 123, addr fe80:1 ::204:61ff:fe46:be89, in6_is_addr_multicast=0 flags=0 fails: Can't assign requested address
ntpd seems to be working from what I can see in it's log file, but I can't do
anything with ntpq to check it.
Wether I run it as my normal user or as root, running ntpq -p always gives:
ntpq: write to localhost.foo.com failed: Permission denied
I can run ntpq without any flags (and get the ntpq> prompt), but as soon as I
try to run commands in it like associations or peers, it just comes back with
that same error message.
I assume this has something to do with the first error message & that ntpq is
trying (& failing) to bind to ipv6, but I'm unsure why that's the case.
Here's the output of ifconfig in case that helps:
vr0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.5 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 fe80::204:61ff:fe46:be89%vr0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
ether 00:04:61:46:be:89
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
I've tried disabling my firewall and running ntpq -p again, but I still get
the same response.
I've tried googling for a solution, but haven't found anything as yet so I
hope someone here can help!
Here is my ntpd entries in rc.conf:
ntpd_enable="YES" # Run ntpd Network Time Protocol (or NO).
ntpd_program="/usr/sbin/ntpd" # path to ntpd, if you want a different one.
ntpd_flags="-c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid"
and the contents of ntp.conf:
server 210.48.130.204
server augean.eleceng.adelaide.edu.au
driftfile /var/db/ntpd.drift
logfile /var/log/ntpd
Cheers,
