RE: [chrony-users] Will it EVER synch and start serving?

["Dan Gearty" <dpgearty@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am just another user and do not know the details, but isn't makestep necessary to allow for a large enough clock jump to a close enough time for the clock speed algorithm to have a chance of functioning?  

makestep 1.0 3

And if that works, a driftfile will assist the subsequent startups of the clock speed algorithm

driftfile /opt/var/lib/chrony/drift

Ignore the path, I am running chrony on a consumer wireless router via Entware.

No DNS issues.  Forward and reverse DNS resolution works perfectly. 
Though the config. below uses hostnames, in reality raw IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are used.  All of the NTP server hosts are reachable and are responding, as evidenced chronyc outputs shown in earlier messages in this thread (Reach/LastRx/Last sample output columns).

Obviously I've masked the raw IPv4 and IPv6 addresses with phony names to protect the, uh, innocent...? Or the guilty?  ;)  *chuckle*

This is a FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE-p4 host running the chrony-4.0 FreeBSD 
package.

 From `chronyd -v`:
   chronyd (chrony) version 4.0 (+CMDMON +NTP +REFCLOCK -RTC +PRIVDROP 
-SCFILTER -SIGND +ASYNCDNS +NTS +SECHASH +IPV6 -DEBUG)



Thanks for any/all pointers as to where to look next!

Aaron out.
