Hi everyone,

I am running FreeBSD 4.1.1 and followed the advice given on this mailing list
regarding NTP. I created /etc/ntp.conf and put in the line:

server ntp.mel.nml.CSIRO.AU 

I also tried the following in the ntp.conf :
(taken from the suggestions at http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/ntp.html)


server time.nist.gov prefer
server 127.127.1.0
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift

then ran    "ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid"

The system log first showed the following (which I beleive is normal)

Nov 23 18:43:01 www ntpd[318]: ntpd 4.0.99b Mon Sep 25 23:37:27 GMT 2000 (1)

Nov 23 18:43:01 www ntpd[318]: using kernel phase-lock loop 2041


But then after a while the following appeared in the system log:

Nov 23 18:50:47 www ntpd[318]: time error -28161 over 1000 seconds; set clock
manually


I have tried several public "primary" NTP servers in Melbourne/Australia and
have had no luck thus far. Should I try secondary time servers. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Thanks
