I did an emerge -u ntp, edited the /etc/conf.d/ntp-client as follows: #NTPCLIENT_CMD="ntpdate" NTPCLIENT_CMD="/usr/bin/ntpdate" #NTPDATE_OPTS="-b your.server.here" NTPCLIENT_OPTS="-b time.cachenetworks.com" NTPCLIENT_OPTS="-b ntp1.mainecoon.com" NTPCLIENT_OPTS="-b ntp1.sf-bay.org" ###########end of conf.d/ntp-update######### Added to the startup via rc-update, then tried to run ntp with: /etc/init.d/ntp-client restart which printed: * Setting clock via the ntp client '/usr/bin/ntpdate'... 27 Apr 05:18:41 ntpdate[21672]: setsockopt() IPV6_V6ONLY failed: Protocol not available * Failed to set clock So, I ran the ntpdate command manually as :... sirbarton /etc/init.d# ntpdate -b ntp1.sf-bay.org Looking for host ntp1.sf-bay.org and service ntp host found : zorro.sf-bay.org 27 Apr 05:20:26 ntpdate[21681]: setsockopt() IPV6_V6ONLY failed: Protocol not available I am not actually sure what is failing here, all I know is I would like ntp-client to work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -up ntp 2.ntpdate -b ntp1.sf-bay.org 3. Actual Results: Error message and failure to adjust the clock Expected Results: Set the clock to the correct synchronized time.
turn on ipv6 support in your kernel or add -4 to the options
