I'm having troubles to set up ntp client functionality, on debian system.
when typing ntpq -p the output is always the same (all zeros and no stats in the output) which looks like this:
sudo ntpq -p4
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
ntp2.mojsite.co .INIT. 16 - - 1024 0 0.000 0.000 0.000
panel1.web2.clu .INIT. 16 - - 1024 0 0.000 0.000 0.000
85.93.216.115 .INIT. 16 - - 1024 0 0.000 0.000 0.000
As you can see the reach, delay, offset and jitter are all zero, and this is so for few days already not changing at all.
I think think configuration might be mis configured, here is my ntp.conf file:
# /etc/ntp.conf, configuration for ntpd; see ntp.conf(5) for help

# You do need to talk to an NTP server or two (or three).
#server ntp.your-provider.example
# pool.ntp.org maps to about 1000 low-stratum NTP servers. Your server will
# pick a different set every time it starts up. Please consider joining the
# pool: <http://www.pool.ntp.org/join.html>
#The iburst option is recommended, and sends a burst of packets only if
#it cannot obtain a connection with the first attempt.
#The burst option always does this, even on the first attempt,
#and should never be used without explicit permission
#and may result in blacklisting.
#this command mobilizes a persistent client mode association with the specified
#remote server or local radio clock.
#In this mode the local clock can synchronized to the remote server,
#but the remote server can never be synchronized to the local clock.
#The various operating modes are determined by the command keyword:
#server, peer, broadcast, manycastclient and the type of the required IP address.

NTP firewall rules are set up, and blocked connections are logged, so far nothing is blocked. If needed I'll provide firewall info as well.
