Hello,

I did not pay much attention, but since a couple of weeks
(the latest "daylight savings in Europe????") mu ntp
programs do not function anymore and host clocks
drift further and further (both for machines
I upgraded to -stable as for machines which have a couple
a months old -stable ...).

When I do: ntpdate -bv ntp1.oleane.net I get

  15 Apr 01:53:24 ntpdate[14191]: ntpdate 4.1.0-a Sat Apr 13 21:23:32 MEST 2002 (1)
  15 Apr 01:53:28 ntpdate[14191]: no server suitable for synchronization found

When I do : ntpdate -bdv ntp1.oleane.net I get 

  15 Apr 01:53:33 ntpdate[14192]: ntpdate 4.1.0-a Sat Apr 13 21:23:32 MEST 2002 (1)

  15 Apr 01:53:33 ntpdate[14192]: step time server 194.2.0.58 offset 25.386989 sec


i.e. looks like ntpdate finds the correct offset, but is no longer capable
to apply it; I tried with "ntpd -q" but without succes as well.

I am not aware of any changes I did, apart form the classical
world-cycle on *part* of my boxes, but the problem exists on *all*
boxes.
This might be a firewall-issue of the university, but then, even
"ntpdate -v box-next-to-me" gives the sames behaviour.

I would be glad to know if there is another european FreeBSD sysadmin
who can tell me if he is capable or not to use ntp.

Thanx in advance.

Arno
