Your rc.conf settings look OK; this error from 'ntpdate': > Exiting, name server cannot be used: Temporary failure in name > resolution (2)/etc/rc.d/ntpdate exited with code 1 is most likely telling you that "2.netbsd.pool.ntp.org" is unable to be resolved. Often this is a DNS config issue, sometimes a problem with your system's network config, or possibly the local network itself (e.g. if your gateway is off-the-air or something similar). Check your system's network config, and /etc/resolv.conf; make sure you can ping the NTP server(s) and other things on the net, try a manual DNS lookup for your desired NTP server(s), etc. Cheers, sr.
