Not sure, but I use xntpd and it picks up NTP servers just fine. Just make an /etc/ntp.conf like this: #ntp configuration file for gdi.uoregon.edu server phloem.uoregon.edu Change the server to match your situation (in this case to point to your router), then enable it in sysconfig with: xntpdflags="-c /etc/ntp.conf" And you're off and rolling.
