As the subject says, on my 6-stable systems ntpd just sits there and does nothing. The logs only mention when the daemon gets started or shut down. It complains when servers are not reachable, but does nothing when they are available.

The drift file always contains 0.00.

ntpdate and openntpd both successfully manage to set the time, so I suppose
it's a problem with ntpd.

Are you on a static IP address? If not, ntpd obtains its IP address when it starts up and uses it forever. If your IP address changes then it will not be able to communicate with the upstream ntp servers. It has to be restarted everytime your IP address changes.
