I think the problem is ipv6 related.

Just a FYI. I went to openntp and that works.
I switched to openntpd. I couldn’t shake the ipv6 issues with ntpd. Openntpd works fine out of the box. openntpd tutorial
Just bumping my question. The delay due to the spam filter kind of killed the thread. The error messages are still showing up on the “console” and freebsd /var/messages:
