Hello, all, I am a relatively new freeBSD user. The problem I describe below happens on both a 5.4 install and a 6.0 RC1 install.
Right after installing the OS, I enable ntpd in rc.conf, and setup a simple config file in /etc/ntp.conf. When I reboot, I get this message: Oct 22 10:40:57 alter ntpd[392]: ntpd 4.2.0-a Sun Oct 9 18:33:33 UTC 2005 (1) Oct 22 10:40:57 alter ntpd[392]: bind() fd 6, family 28, port 123, addr fe80:1::202:55ff:fe58:2957, in6_is_addr_multicast=0 flags=0 fails: Can't assign requested address Then ntpd does not synchronize the time. I set the clock manually (using date) five minutes ahead to check and in fact it does not get adjusted. I have tried all sorts of things. I tried assigning numeric addresses rather than host names in the config file. I tried enabling ipv6 in sysinstall. This machine does have a good route to the internet - I can use nslookup to resolve host names, so I know the networking is working. Below I have quoted the ntp.conf. The log file is empty - nothing is being written there. Does anyone have any ideas? I am stumped... thanks for your help.
