openntpd will not synchronize on debian lenny

AleLinuxBSD · 11-30-2009, 12:14 PM

I have this problem on debian lenny so i have installed ntp.

Is this a bug?

I use openntpd on archlinux without problem.

Hi there,

Can you provide any pertinent lines from /var/log/syslog or /var/log/daemon.log? The various ntp* command line utilities can also be useful. ntptrace for example will return something like the following if you're in business:

Code:

jameson@myntpserver:~$ ntptrace 
sage: stratum 2, offset -0.000126, synch distance 0.033226
131.107.13.100: stratum 1, offset 0.000000, synch distance 0.002650, refid 'ACTS'

Have you specified (or are there default) servers in /etc/ntp.conf? For example, I have elected many, nearby:

Code:

server time-nw.nist.gov
server clock1.cat.pdx.edu
server clock2.cat.pdx.edu
server clock3.cat.pdx.edu
server clock4.cat.pdx.edu
server clock5.cat.pdx.edu
server 0.us.pool.ntp.org
server 1.us.pool.ntp.org
server 2.us.pool.ntp.org
server 3.us.pool.ntp.org

I have simply installed these packages.
Before openntpd without any result and after that ntp.
$ cat /etc/ntp.conf

server 0.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst dynamic
server 1.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst dynamic
server 2.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst dynamic
server 3.debian.pool.ntp.org iburst dynamic

I haven't /var/syslog or /var/daemon.log.

/var/log/syslog and /var/log/daemon.log

Thanks evo! Embarrassing; must pay more attention. :-) (I've edited my original post as such.)
