that doesnt really make much sense ... USE=openntpd only controls whether the binary installed comes from the ntp package or the openntpd package so what you might actually be trying to say is that if you used the `ntpq` client from the ntp package with the `ntpd` server from the openntpd package, the server reports "malformed packet received" you forgot to post `emerge info`, do so now please

telling people to dig through forums is a waste of time ... you post all relevant information in the bug report
Sorry, that are all information, which I have. In the forum the same is located as here.
The USE-Flag "openntpd" is missing, since I now unmerged openntpd, so that it functions. Otherwise it is the same.
what does 'ntpq -p' do? and why would openntpd support it (whatever it is)?
"ntpq - p" indicates all time servers and to their status of the synchronisation. And the Client ntpq (NTP) comes closer in addition to the server ntpd (openntpd). An example: cat:$ ntpq -p remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== ntps1-0.cs.tu-b .PPS. 1 u 195m 36h 337 49.911 4.034 32.368 rustime01.rus.u .DCFp. 1 u 212m 36h 377 39.099 7.128 28.159 +adsl-212-20-244 130.88.200.6 3 u 163 1024 377 90.608 2.909 9.320 *loewe.zoo.tom 130.149.17.21 2 u 805 1024 377 0.986 5.223 2.026 cat:$ ntptrace localhost: stratum 3, offset 0.009495, root distance 0.053380 loewe.zoo.tom: stratum 2, offset -0.000313, root distance 0.052006 ntps1-0.cs.tu-berlin.de: stratum 1, offset -0.000016, root distance 0.000000, refid 'PPS'
from the man page of ntpd if gather the following: The ntpq utility is used to query NTP servers which implement the recom- mended NTP mode 6 control message format about current state and to request changes in that state. i guess openntpd does not implement NTP mode 6 control messages and that is why ntpq is failing and openntpd is saying 'malformed packet received'. if i understood upstream correctly, this is on purpose (openntpd is supposed to be lightweight). ie. its not a bug, its a feature. feel free to reopen the bug, if you think i misunderstood the situation (likely, as i still dont know what ntpq does). thanks
(In reply to comment #8) > feel free to reopen the bug, But it explains to thanks. Sorry that I did not find it not.
