Created attachment 234042 [details] Patch for usr.sbin/ntp/ntpd/ntp.conf replacing 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org with 2.freebsd.pool.ntp.org The current default pool is `0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org` which is an IPv4-only service. The `0.*`, `1.*`, and `3.*` pools are IPv4-only. The `2.*` pool supports both IPv4 and IPv6. This behavior can be verified with `host`: ``` % host 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org has address 185.216.231.116 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org has address 74.6.168.72 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org has address 129.250.35.250 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org has address 216.229.0.50 % host 2.freebsd.pool.ntp.org 2.freebsd.pool.ntp.org has address 104.156.229.103 2.freebsd.pool.ntp.org has address 50.205.244.37 2.freebsd.pool.ntp.org has address 162.248.241.94 2.freebsd.pool.ntp.org has address 65.108.70.240 2.freebsd.pool.ntp.org has IPv6 address 2001:19f0:b400:182d::123 2.freebsd.pool.ntp.org has IPv6 address 2001:418:3ff::53 2.freebsd.pool.ntp.org has IPv6 address 2607:f8f8:721:e301::123 2.freebsd.pool.ntp.org has IPv6 address 2001:470:1f0f:3e0:c352:4a66:89c8:f9b9 ``` Hopefully this patch will save a few others running an IPv6-only server an hour of investigating why `ntpd` isn't working.
Looks good. See https://reviews.freebsd.org/D35268 for proposed patch.
Interestingly, {0,1,3}.{freebsd,fedora,debian,ubuntu}.pool.ntp.org support only IPv4. While 2.{freebsd,fedora,debian,ubuntu}.pool.ntp.org all support IPv4 and IPv6.
@Cy Schubert Did you hear back from the ntp.org folks?
No. I'll ping them again.
