Sorry for late reply, but here ae my configs: My config file which did not work was as follows: <ntp_config_1> server 127.127.1.0 # local clock fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 3 server uk.pool.ntp.org prefer server uk.pool.ntp.org server us.pool.ntp.org server pool.ntp.org driftfile /etc/ntp/drift multicastclient # listen on default 224.0.1.1 broadcastdelay 0.008 logfile /var/log/ntp.log restrict 127.0.0.1 </ntp_config_1> The config file which worked was as follows: <ntp_config_working> server 127.127.1.0 fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 server uk.pool.ntp.org prefer iburst server europe.pool.ntp.org iburst server 0.pool.ntp.org iburst server 1.pool.ntp.org iburst server 2.pool.ntp.org iburst server pool.ntp.org iburst driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift logfile /var/log/ntp/ntpd.log statsdir /var/log/ntp/ntpstats/ statistics loopstats peerstats clockstats filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable restrict default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery restrict 127.0.0.1 nomodify/ntp_config_working </ntp_config_working> There are lots of extra lines in the second working configuration which I have put later on. The problem in my opinion with the configuration which did not work was the line "multicastclient" when I dont have a multicast server on the network. The line "multicastclient" was not letting the synchronisation with the servers to happen as none of them is a multicast server. Any comments are welcome.
