Now that you've switched, what does "ntpq -pn" tell you?
I have just enabled and configured ntpd on a test machine, eventually it also prefers IPv4, but that's because it has a higher stratum:
# ntpq -pn remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter

I don't remember why the IPv6 address only is stratum 2, but there is some explanation.
So that I can try, how does ntp know that a server has both IPv4 and 6 on the same network? By setting both addresses on the dns server?
Yes, exactly. Or in my case, I use ipv6 multicast. If you just specify one server in ntp.conf, I think you also only ought to see one opf the addresses.
I tried adding the IPv6 entry in /etc/hosts, but doesn't work. This machine uses bind since ages, and I don't know how to add IPv6 entries to it... I have being considering changing to dnsmasq instead, but...
You add IPv6 the same way you add IPv4 - edit the zone file, add a 'AAAA' record. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.6°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
