OK. I have it a try on a PC running OpenBSD 2.8.

This is what I got.
1/ "ntpdate ntp.ipv6.viagenie.qc.ca" DID seams to work;
2/ "ntpd" did NOT work with my standard /etc/ntp.conf
server ntp1.belbone.be
server ntp2.belbone.be
server ntp.ipv6.viagenie.qc.ca
multicastclient
driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
broadcast 224.0.1.1 ttl 63

I removed the lines "multicastclient" and "broadcast" (which had to do
with IPv4 multicasting); which seams to work better but not completely OK.


First: I get these syslog-messages
Oct 15 15:19:18 thor ntpd[10098]:
sendto(3ffe:b00:c18:1:202:b3ff:fe31:fa5f): Invalid argument
Oct 15 15:19:18 thor ntpd[10098]:
sendto(3ffe:b00:c18:1:202:b3ff:fe31:fa5f): Invalid argument

Second: 'xntpdc' (which is non-IPv6) seams to crash the ntpd-daemon.


Cheerio! Kr. Bonne.
