Re: problem on setting up ntpd

[Mispunt]

It will take some time before ntpd begins with syncing. Don't ask me
why, but it took a day for me before my ntpd was beginning with
syncing.

Hi all,

I was just trying to setup an ntpd server for my home network so it could sync 
with each other.  So here's what I have in my /etc/ntpd.conf:

# $OpenBSD: ntpd.conf,v 1.7 2004/07/20 17:38:35 henning Exp $
# sample ntpd configuration file, see ntpd.conf(5)

# Addresses to listen on (ntpd does not listen by default)
listen on 192.168.1.1

# sync to a single server
#server ntp.example.org

# use a random selection of 8 public stratum 2 servers
# see http://twiki.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers
servers asia.pool.ntp.org

and here's the log from /var/log/daemon after I run the service:
Apr  8 21:09:32 blowfish ntpd[14921]: listening on 192.168.1.1
Apr  8 21:09:32 blowfish ntpd[14921]: ntp engine ready

Apr  8 21:09:56 blowfish ntpd[14921]: peer 61.129.90.164 now valid

Even though it seems to be working, I still can't get the date to sync from clients.  
When I try to telnet to 192.168.1.1 on port 123, it says "Connection Refused".  
But the daemon is running on the server:
% ps auxw | grep ntpd
root 24933  0.0  0.2   428   600 ??  Is 9:09PM0:00.00 ntpd: [priv] 
(ntpd)
_ntp 14921  0.0  0.2   388   648 ??  S  9:09PM0:00.02 ntpd: ntp 
engine (ntpd)

Can anyone pleae help me out?
Thanks in advance.

Re: OpenBSD webserver partitioning schemes

[Mispunt]

My suggestion would be this:
1 disk - OpenBSD install

raid disks:
1 partition - /var/mysql
1 partition - /var/www
1 partition - /var/www/tmp (this could be small)

Anyone have or know of a good beginner's tutorial on how to
setup/configure a openBSD box to do DNS on a local network?
The more concrete/cookbook the examples, the better.
