[mythtv-users] OT: NTP does not seem to be updating...

[nowhere]

Hi!

My mythbox's clock is drifting and it seems that ntp is not updating the
clock. There are no messages whatsoever in /var/log/messages for ntp.

Service reports ntpd to be running. If I restart the service it updates
immediately and just fine and then the correct info is logged in
/var/log/messages. Just doesn't seem to be doing it automatically. 


Thanks!
Eric


Here is my ntp.conf file:

# Prohibit general access to this service.
restrict default ignore
restrict <snip> mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery

# Permit all access over the loopback interface.  This could
# be tightened as well, but to do so would effect some of
# the administrative functions.
restrict 127.0.0.1


# -- CLIENT NETWORK -------
# Permit systems on this network to synchronize with this
# time service.  Do not permit those systems to modify the
# configuration of this service.  Also, do not use those
# systems as peers for synchronization.
