Hi,

For some reason NTP does not work on my OPNsense box. When I try to start it, it just immediately dies again. I'm using the default setup as shipped with OPNsense.

In /var/log/ntpd.log I get this:
Aug 31 13:06:33 OPNsense ntpd[60103]: ntpd 4.2.8p13@1.3847-o Mon Aug 26 00:49:49 UTC 2019 (1): Starting

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Same issue, seems like FreeBSD is not updating hardware clock with current system time, derived from ntpd:

is last entries, no new log entries after that. Also:
