On this System an automatically generated ntpd.conf file is generated in order to synchronize the System clock with a NTP Server. I want to use a Windows 2003 or 2008 Server to act as the NTP Server. On the Windows System the NTP Server (Windows Time Service) is *correctly* running. The thing is that even if there are NTP traffic between the client and the Server (NTP Client and Server IP packet), My FreeBSD is not synchronizing at all: freebsd-client>ntpq -p 127.0.0.1 remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ======================================================= NTP_server 192.168.10.6 2 u 103 1024 1 1.037 -587367 0.002 As you can see the offset is huge and never decreases as in a normal way... My ntpd.conf file looks like: ----------- # File is automatically generated # Do not edit tinker panic 1 tinker step 1 # ntp servers list server 172.30.1.5 # files informations driftfile /etc/ntp.drift # restriction informations restrict default ignore # do not allow request by default restrict 127.0.0.1 # allow localhost for debugging restrict 172.30.1.5 nomodify ------------ my ntp.drift file ------------ -101.101 ------------ I know that maybe the Microsoft NTP/SNTP implementation is not RFC-compliant, but is there a way to configure my NTP client in a more "compatible" (less strict) way to adjust its time with a Windows Server? Thanks
