after upgrading to net-misc/openntpd-6.8_p1-r1 the clock never become synced on multiple servers linux kernel 5.4.60 # cat /etc/ntpd.conf listen on 127.0.0.1 servers 0.pool.ntp.org sensor * Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start ntpd 2. wait for hours Actual Results: # ntpctl -s all 4/4 peers valid, clock unsynced peer wt tl st next poll offset delay jitter 195.28.27.26 from pool 0.pool.ntp.org 1 10 1 18s 32s -0.027ms 0.686ms 0.137ms 83.241.47.64 from pool 0.pool.ntp.org 1 10 2 18s 34s -1.204ms 1.621ms 0.383ms 178.16.23.50 from pool 0.pool.ntp.org 1 10 2 13s 34s 0.705ms 0.778ms 0.595ms 91.240.246.3 from pool 0.pool.ntp.org 1 10 2 31s 34s -0.072ms 0.895ms 0.126ms Expected Results: 4/4 peers valid, clock synced, stratum 3
I also noticed this. Running strace on ntpd I can see that the clock_adjtime() calls always return TIME_ERROR and buf.status is stuck as STA_UNSYNC. Possible upstream bug report https://github.com/openntpd-portable/openntpd-portable/issues/65
