hello everyone. i am having a bit of problem with slackware 11 ntpd. it will not sync with my time server.

NTP server on my IPCOP: 192.168.1.1

# cat /etc/ntp.conf

restrict default nomodify notrap noquery
restrict 127.0.0.1

server 192.168.1.1

server 127.127.1.0 # local clock
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10

driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
broadcastdelay 0.008

keys /etc/ntp/ntp.keys

# ntpq -p
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
192.168.1.1 LOCAL(0) 11 u 291 1024 377 4.747 12173.3 38.751
*LOCAL(0) .LOCL. 10 l 46 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.001


so for some reason it is only sync'ng on my local clock and not my time server. i also have a centos box with the same ntp config that is sync'ng to my ipcop.

i can run ntpdate manually and it will sync with ipcop.

my log shows.

# gunzip -c /var/log/messages.1.gz | grep -i ntp

Try the "prefer" option:
After NTPD is restarted, your client will probably be sycronized first with LOCAL(0) then with the prefered server.
