Hi everybody,
I recently set up an openbsd 3.7-stable with a custom kernel firewall and the new ntpd. As I read in the man, I wrote a ntpd.conf and a rc.conf.local files. # $OpenBSD: ntpd.conf,v 1.7 2004/07/20 17:38:35 henning Exp $ # sample ntpd configuration file, see ntpd.conf(5) # Addresses to listen on (ntpd does not listen by default) listen on ::1 # sync to a single server #server ntp.example.org server ntp.com.univ-mrs.fr server ntp.univ-lyon1.fr server ntp.imag.fr # use a random selection of 8 public stratum 2 servers # see http://twiki.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers #servers pool.ntp.org And then my rc.conf.local : ntpd_flags= # enabled during install. The daemon is running (ps -aux). PF rules are correctly configured. I can see the ntp packets passing the firewall via tcpdump. The firewall local clock is correctly updated (I'll see it when I turned ntpd in debug mode). But when I try to adjust the time on another machine of my network, synchronisation failed each time. On windows I use to way to adjust time : With a small soft "abouttime", which returns the following errors : Connecting to fw using SNTP. Resolved address for fw (192.168.0.254). Received time (ping 0 ms), error 196463160 ms. New time: Thursday, February 07, 2036 07:28:16. timed out waiting for fw. Connecting to fw using Time/TCP. Resolved address for fw (192.168.0.254). Received time (ping 16 ms), error 7812740 ms. New time: Thursday, August 11, 2005 01:44:50. Connecting to fw using Time/UDP. Resolved address for fw (192.168.0.254). Received time (ping 0 ms), error 1227 ms. The two last ways adjust with a bad time. With the windows command line : net time /setsntp:fw, there is no particular error message but the time is not adjust.

Does anyone can help me please? Best regards, -- Alexis de BRUYN email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] web : http://www.de-bruyn.fr
