The urls in /etc/conf.d/ntpd are wrong, following urls gives a list of public ntp-servers: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock1.html http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2.html (the l from html is missing)
fixed in cvs, thanks for the heads up http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-x86/net-misc/ntp/files/ntpd.confd.diff?r1=1.3&r2=1.4
