Hi,

not sure if this is platform related or a generic problem: After the
recent ntpd update my Edge Router Lite running current has the problem
that ntpd and ntpdate set the date/time to somewhere in 2050, but only
if the offset of the system clock is larger than about 0.5 seconds.

Currently running:
FreeBSD pomona 11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #0: Mon Apr 13 03:48:04 CEST 2015     wolfgang at pomona:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/UBQTERL  mips

Problem happened with a few earlier versions after the new ntpd as well.

Example ntpdate call with switch to 2050:
root at pomona:/home/wolfgang # ntpdate -v vulcan
13 Apr 14:52:33 ntpdate[888]: ntpdate 4.2.8p1-a (1)
24 Jul 14:22:06 ntpdate[888]: step time server 192.168.203.27 offset 0.910891 sec

Example with working ntpdate call:
root at pomona:/home/wolfgang # date 201504131452.50
Mon Apr 13 14:52:50 CEST 2015
root at pomona:/home/wolfgang # ntpdate -v vulcan
13 Apr 14:52:51 ntpdate[890]: ntpdate 4.2.8p1-a (1)
13 Apr 14:52:57 ntpdate[890]: adjust time server 192.168.203.27 offset 0.287131 sec

Anyone else seeing this?

Wolfgang
