You could try using a pool of servers that are known to be ok, (eg pool.ntp.org) if you are not doing that already. You have not said anything about the servers you are currently using. i.e are they LAN devices or over the internet?

Great idea!  I'll try it.

New CONFIG:
driftfile /var/db/chrony/drift
ratelimit interval 3 burst 8
cmdport 0
bindaddress IP.AD.DR.ESS
bindacqaddress IP.AD.DR.ESS
bindaddress IPV6:ADDR:ESS::5
bindacqaddress IPV6:ADDR:ESS::5
server 0.pool.ntp.org
server 1.pool.ntp.org
server 2.pool.ntp.org
server 3.pool.ntp.org

.... wait for some time after restarting chronyd ...

Hmmm, I though I waited long enough that by now it should have picked a source and synched as a stratum 3 server.  Looks like the same problem I'm having with my preferred sources.  All NTP pool sources are stuck in "W" "waits for others" state, despite what appears to be good connectivity and active responses to NTP queries.  *sigh*

Ideas?


Stumped,
Aaron out.
