I'm using NTP on all machines with internet connection, to keep their clock more accurate. Remember to run tzsetup to set up correct time zone, before NTP'ing. Do a manually sync if needed: ntpdate -v -b 0.us.pool.ntp.org Insert in /etc/rc.conf: ntpdate_enable="YES" ntpdate_hosts="0.us.pool.ntp.org" ntpd_enable="YES" #The following is confirmed in freebsd8.2 at 2011-04-19 #Note from 2009-01-07: As by FreeBSD 7.1 ntpd should be able to run without the following config file #ntpd will need a config file at /etc/ntp.conf, looking like: #server 0.us.pool.ntp.org #server 1.us.pool.ntp.org #server 2.us.pool.ntp.org #restrict 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap #driftfile /var/db/ntp.drift
