OpenNTPD

noir911 · 01-28-2006, 03:24 AM

I am running OpenNTPD in OpenBSD 3.8 and /var/log/daemon shows it is working fine -

Code:

peer <IP> now valid
adjusting local clock by -0.434343
clock is now synced

But if I run ntpq -p (as root) it says

Code:

ntpp:read:Connection refused

lsof -i | grep ntpd shows ntpd is listening on local IP port 4345 to remote IP <IP> port NTP and UDP. Both on IPv4 and IPv6.

I have configured 2 files

[1] /etc/ntpd.conf

here I bind ntp to local IP address
and connect to the NTP server that is enarest to me.

[2] /etc/rc.conf

here I set the flag to "" for ntp to start during boot time.

TIA.

i'm probably wrong, but doesnt one have to edit /etc/host.allow on openbsd to allow any incomming connections.

e.g in my netbsd /etc/hosts.allow

rpcbind: 192.168.0.4

this allows NFS to one host...

I don't have a hosts.allow but I have had issues with hosts.deny where it was block every sorts of connections.

But OpenNTPD has been working fine as I can do lsof -i and see I am connected to all these NTP server that keep me sync'd.

OBSD NTP just doesn't have commands like "ntpq -p". Guess it's still in beta or something.

maybe you can use xntpdc or ntpdc - a kind of interactive mode.... works on hp unix...
