strange ntpd problem in 6.0-RELEASE

[Vincent Chen]

Hi, all

I have the following 2 line in my rc.conf

ntpd_enable="YES"
ntpd_flags="-c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid"

after system reboot, I can see ntpd running but 'ntpq -p' gives nothing. I have
to 'killall ntpd' and '/usr/sbin/ntpd -c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid'
manually to get the peers connected like this.

ntpq -p

     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter

Why ntpd has no peers after system first boot? Maybe it's firewall issue, can I
configure ntpd trying to talk to peers again automatically until peers
connected?

my ntp.conf:

#
# servers in US
#
server clock.isc.org prefer
server ntp.nasa.gov
server time-a.nist.gov

#
# servers in Taiwan
#
server time.stdtime.gov.tw
server tick.stdtime.gov.tw
server tock.stdtime.gov.tw

driftfile /etc/ntp.drift



Thanks, 

Vincent
