I have Gentoo 2.6.13-r5 kernel running and have used ntpd in
broadcastclient mode to keep its time in sync on my home network. The
other day, the system suffered and abrupt shutdown due to a power
outage. Ever since then, the system clock gains about 10 seconds every
5 minutes. Also, I can't get ntpd to sync the clock. My command line
is "ntpd -A -b -g -u ntp:ntp". I've included some output running the
command with the debug switch below.
I've also tried to gain more info with the ntpdc utility although I
don't really know what I'm doing. However it appears that ntpd does see
my FreeBSD time server even though it's not synced:
ntpdc> peers
remote local st poll reach delay offset disp
=======================================================================
=192.168.1.2 0.0.0.0 2 64 7 0.00038 -9.600170 1.98438
The time server is a FreeBSD 6.0 box on my network. My other FreeBSD
box and two Windows boxes get time from it just fine. Even the Gentoo
box will set its clock with "ntpd -gq". I am currently using this brute
force method via a cron job as a temporary workaround.
Any ideas on what might have caused this recent change in behavior?
Thanks for your help,
Drew
