That's mostly not recommended, openntpd (in base) is generally a better idea for OpenBSD systems... > "ntpd[26862]: DNS lookup tempfail" ...though that looks like an openntpd message so you are probably running it anyway and just have an unused package installed. > This node is running with IPv6-only. > > Since I did not have IPv4, I initially only commented the constraint > with IPv4 .

That DNS zone is nothing to do with OpenBSD - as with pool.ntp.org itself it is ntppool's decision whether they want to include AAAA. You need to use one of the "2." pool addresses, e.g. global: 2.pool.ntp.org regional: 2.africa.pool.ntp.org 2.asia.pool.ntp.org 2.europe.pool.ntp.org 2.north-america.pool.ntp.org 2.oceania.pool.ntp.org 2.south-america.pool.ntp.org "vendor": 2.openbsd.pool.ntp.org Also e.g. time.cloudflare.com lists both A and AAAA records. -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
