Howdy,
Which NTPd package would the list recommend using, ntp, openntpd, or
some other package?
openntpd seems to be easier to set up according to wiki.gentoo.org.
The list's advice would be much appreciated.

Why don't you just use openntpd ( or whatever it's called)?
Hello,
So I do not use 'lvm' on this system. So after adding net-misc/openntpd
and setting it up per the wiki, I got this strange message::
# /etc/init.d/ntpd restart
* Caching service dependencies ...
File descriptor 3 (pipe:[25250801]) leaked on lvm invocation. Parent PID
1159: /bin/sh
OpenNTPD ...
Any hints on using this net-misc/openntpd ?
There's no "ntpdate" executable in openntpd, but you can tell it to
force an update whenever you start the daemon by adding "-s" to your
NTPD_OPTS in /etc/conf.d/ntpd.
If you do that and restart the daemon, you should wind

I'm trying to synchronize the system time with the help of rdate

Most people (made-up statistic) use NTP. There are a couple of different

Yes, it is OK. I've just found it on openbsd.org:

You could also try openntpd. It seems to be lacking some features (ntpq

Any and all help
of using ntpd/openntpd. The full daemons
are not the resource hogs they used to be, and are much better at
handling clock skew. They keep track of the skew, so they only do a
correction as often as needed. Using a daemon also helps keep the other
ntp servers from getting pounded at certain points
trying to synchronize the system time with the help of rdate

noise and other
inaccuracies. For daily work that's really not a big deal, but if you are
going to use NTP I suggest you really use NTP and run a daemon. The
default config for both net-misc/ntp and openntpd does not listen on any
ports by default, so it shouldn't raise many security issues
time protocol
exists, as it does on OpenBSD - I don't have rdate on my Gentoo box.
Or you could try an ntpd - OpenNTPD for example. It's a lightweight NTP
Deamon and it's in portage. That should work with pool.ntp.org.
If you are familiar with all that, maybe some other servers may work
better

This is almost certainly a hardware problem. If it isn't a hardware
problem, it is at least not distribution specific. This doesn't really
belong in a Gentoo mailing list. That being said...
Some rhetorical questions (in no particular order):
Does the problem persist when you use Knoppix?
