yes it should show the servers you connect with. Maybe your config file is messed up somehow, maybe you can show us the contents. -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Steven A.

If I start ntpd by hand on my gateway/firewall system it does indeed start and I am able to sync to that system from the other client systems on my network but when I do a ntpq on it and type "peers" the only thing listed there is the LOCAL (0) one. Unless I am mistaken it should also list the two other ntp servers I have configured in the ntp.conf file. Right? -----Original Message----- >From: "Steven A.
