I live in the -6 GMT zone ( CST6CDT here in the States ) and last night Daylight Savings Time kicked in. I started openntpd this morning and I get the following error message in my logs after starting it up: Apr 2 13:32:09 lichte ntpd[9400]: ntp engine ready Apr 2 18:32:29 lichte ntpd[9400]: peer 84.16.227.162 now valid Apr 2 18:32:30 lichte ntpd[9400]: peer 216.52.237.153 now valid Apr 2 18:32:30 lichte ntpd[9400]: peer 82.76.121.165 now valid Apr 2 18:32:32 lichte ntpd[9400]: peer 216.106.184.58 now valid Apr 2 13:33:27 lichte ntpd[9399]: adjusting local clock by 3589.836715s Apr 2 13:33:27 lichte ntpd[9399]: adjtime failed: Invalid argument Apr 2 18:36:53 lichte ntpd[9400]: ntp engine exiting Apr 2 13:36:53 lichte ntpd[9399]: Terminating Here is my emerge info: Portage 2.0.54 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.5, glibc-2.3.5-r3, 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 i686 VIA Samuel 2 Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=c3 -mmmx -m3dnow -O2 -pipe" CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=c3 -mmmx -m3dnow -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://gentoo.osuosl.org/" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync11.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow X X509 Xaw3d aac alsa aotuv apm audiofile avi berkdb bindist bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo cdparanoia chroot cli crypt ctype cups curl dba dga doc dri dts dvd edl eds emacs emboss encode exif expat fastbuild flac fontconfig foomaticdb force-cgi-redirect fortran ftp gd gdbm gif glep glitz glut gmp gnutls gpm gs gstreamer gtk2 guile idn imlib isdnlog jpeg justify lcms libg++ libwww live lzo mad md5sum memlimit mikmod mmap mmx mng modelock motif mp3 mpeg musepack mysql nas ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin objc ogg opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl perlsuid png posix pppd preview-latex python qt quicktime readline real rle rtc sdl session sftplogging simplexml skey slp sndfile soap sockets speex spell spl sqlite ssl svg tcltk tcpd tetex tga theora tiff tokenizer truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode urandom utf8 vorbis win32codecs xml xml2 xmms xpm xprint xsl xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS
is this problem still bothering you? adjtime fails because the time is too much off... the max adjustment is 2145 secs (according to man adjtime).... did you start ntpd with the -s switch set? also, could you try version 3.9p1
I found the -s switch and that fixed my problems. I didn't try the newer version since it's not in stable yet.......I've added it to my /etc/portage/package.keywords now and it seems to be working just fine. Thank you.
thanks for reporting back
