I fixed it. The default Gentoo NTP configuration file is wrong. It says:
Code:
# If you want to deny all machines (including your own)
# from accessing the NTP server, uncomment:
#restrict default ignore
But this actually breaks ntpd...# from accessing the NTP server, uncomment:
#restrict default ignore
Thx!
just wondered... posted, and time was right... tought...
"a server admin who actually reacts immediately to a feedback?? i must be dreaming"
simply greathm, i dont know how Gentoo handles that, but on my Debian and OpenWRT,
ntpd was always the server and not needed for own time synchronisation
only to pass sync to other machines in the network so only one need Internet
