NTP update not working well

[stinga]

You need to alter /etc/ntp.conf and turn off the 1 hour sync.
Mine looks like

[root@wr-fw ~]# cat /etc/ntp.conf
disable monitor
restrict default nomodify
pool 0.au.pool.ntp.org
pool 1.au.pool.ntp.org
pool 2.au.pool.ntp.org
pool 3.au.pool.ntp.org
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10

More stuff here I just posted:

NTP still not working

G’day all, Out of the box NTP does not seem to work correctly. we have: [root@cf-fw ~]# cat /etc/ntp.conf disable monitor restrict default nomodify noquery restrict 127.0.0.1 server 127.127.1.0 prefer fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 driftfile /etc/ntp/drift If you want NTP to work correctly you need something like: [root@cf-fw ~]# cat /etc/ntp.conf disable monitor restrict default nomodify pool 0.uk.pool.ntp.org pool 1.uk.pool.ntp.org pool…

I think I am correct but if someone knows better I am all ears.
Works perfectly.

You may need to restart all hosts behind the firewall to pick up setting as they will all be syncing with their local clock. As far as I can see NTP is not working on IPFire and never has. THink I had to make the same changes to my IPCop install as well!
