Hello Andrea, Thank you so much for your response! I was reluctant to include configuration related material for the sake of not insulting anyone however, on the server we have set:
server tick.nrc.ca minpoll 64 maxpoll 1024 iburst prefer server tock.nrc.ca minpoll 64 maxpoll 1024 iburst restrict 127.0.0.1 restrict 192.168.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255 minpoll 64 # Synchronize Hardare Clock CLOCK_SYSTOHC="yes" The reason I manually set min/maxpoll is to be in compliance with ntp server requirements: minpoll/maxpoll may not be changed below the defaults of 64 seconds and 1024 seconds respectively. For the client, I have: disable auth broadcastclient server ntp.server.com prefer # Synchronize Hardare Clock CLOCK_SYSTOHC="yes" As for /etc/conf.d/ntpd, we have set nothing. To be honest I did not even know the file existed till you mentioned it: NTPD_OPTS="-u ntp:ntp" I would have liked to be better prepared for this but the gentoo wiki page has been down for a few weeks now. We are not looking for microsecond synchronization however, down to the second would be nice! Kind Regards, Nick.
