Right now, I just need something easy and lightweight, that works across system, VM, containers and embedded systems. Openntp seems to be fine for that. I may look at chrony at a later date, if openntp fails for unknown reasons. It is pretty small and quite simple, so it does meet my needs, atm. Later on, I may need to test a variety of ntp daemons against musl and maybe some other glibc replacements, but not now. thx, James

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 up with the correct time at least. fixed. Thx James

[gentoo-user] openntp failed?
Hello, Ok, so I have been looking for some lightweight, but reliable ntp system to use on embedded, cluster-nodes and gentoo workstations. openntp ran rock solid, for a while (weeks) but today, upon checking it's off by about 6 minutes. No events here locally. I did use the default gentoo servers for linkage:: # Choose servers announced from Gentoo NTP Pool servers 0.gentoo.pool.ntp.org servers 1.gentoo.pool.ntp.org servers 2.gentoo.pool.ntp.org servers 3.gentoo.pool.ntp.org I tried to run :: 'ntpdate -sv pool.ntp.org' but that syntax does not seem to be supported:: bash: ntpdate: command not found Googling produces little on this package, but the man pages. I even tried to stop and restart the daemon, but that makes no difference but to verifyh that openntp is actually the daemon running:: Starting OpenNTPD ... Any hints on using this net-misc/openntpd ? James
