I am using ntp 4.1.2 on Gentoo Linux. After days of operation, it does not
sync with the pool.ntp.org servers.
ntpq -c pe

# NOTES:
# - you should only have to update the server line below
# - if you start getting lines like 'restrict' and 'fudge'
# and you didnt add them, AND you run dhcpcd on your
# network interfaces, be sure to add '-Y -N' to the
# dhcpcd_ethX variables in /etc/conf.d/net
# Name of the servers ntpd should sync with
# Please respect the access policy as stated by the responsible person.

# A list of available servers is available here:
# http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.html
# Please follow the rules of engagement and use a
# Stratum 2 server (unless you qualify for Stratum 1)
##
# you should not need to modify the following paths
logfile /var/log/ntpd.log
driftfile /var/lib/misc/ntp.drift
#server ntplocal.example.com prefer
#server timeserver.example.org
# Warning: Using default NTP settings will leave your NTP
# server accessible to all hosts on the Internet.
#
# If you want to deny all machines from accessing
# your NTP server, uncomment:
#
restrict default ignore
# To only deny other machines from changing the
# configuration but allow localhost uncomment:
#
#restrict default notrust nomodify
restrict 127.0.0.1
# To allow machines within your network to synchronize
# their clocks with your server, but ensure they are
# not allowed to configure the server or used as peers
# to synchronize against, uncomment this line.
#
#restrict 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 notrust nomodify notrap
#restrict 127.0.0.1 mask 255.255.255.255 notrust nomodify notrap
# To only deny other machines from changing the
# configuration but allow localhost uncomment:
#
#restrict default notrust nomodify
#restrict 127.0.0.1
ntpdate is run before starting the server, on us.pool.ntp.org. What could be
preventing ntpd from syncing?

Question: Is it better to abide by the rules until they're changed or
help speed the change by breaking them?
