Re: Now it is ntpd that can't find anything
Jeff, I set up ntpd on FreeBSD 6.2 and am getting complaints from ntpd that there is no route to such and such address. It gives what appears to be an interface card address. As a general rule, please copy/paste the error message. The rest respond without hesitation, both to dig and ping. The time server is not reponding to dig per se. Dig is a command to resolve a name into an IP, so that is your DNS server that is responding to dig.

Re: Now it is ntpd that can't find anything
Hi Jeff, Here are the console messages: ntpd (706) send to(2610:1f8:d8:2:216:cbff:fea3:4b2e:) no route to host (2001:4830:1210:0;280:10ff:fe00:48b9) #are these ipv6 addresses? Or are they expecting authentication and refusing connections? The answer seems pretty straight forward to me, in fact it is written in the error message, ntpd is trying an IPv6 connection to that very server. Usually, it will start trying IPv6 if it finds an v6 IP address for a given server, and if the v6 connection does not success, it will try v4 connection. It would be instersting to see the answer of a dig for that time server with IPv6 address, just for confirmation, please run a: dig that.time.server ANY and see if you get a AAA reccord in the answer section.

Yes, I know, my message said it was complaining about what appear to be arp addresses ( I think they are also referred to as MAC addresses) I will try to reproduce an error message if I can get one to come up now. Last night I edited ntp.conf to comment out a time server that was not responding to pings but did turn up a dig response. The ntpd did give me these messages, so just to get it out of my hair for a while I killed it. Some time later I restarted it with the command line presented in the FBSD handbook telling how to start the server. It did not give me anymore problems.

Now it is ntpd that can't find anything
Hello again. I set up ntpd on FreeBSD 6.2 and am getting complaints from ntpd that there is no route to such and such address. It gives what appears to be an interface card address. I found several time servers and listed them in ntp.conf. One is unreachable as demonstrated by ping failure. The rest respond without hesitation, both to dig and ping. But why would ntpd be looking for interface addresses and not ip/domain names? The recent resolver problems I had have been solved, to the extent they have been a problem. Is ntpd trying arp or rarp for these addresses or is it something else I am not aware of? This is the first time I have dealt with ntp. I am trying to follow instructions from latest FreeBSD handbook.
