Are you sure that, you have Dave Mill’s NTP Client enabled or, are you using the Leap 15.0 replacement: Red Hat’s “Chrony”?
[HR][/HR]I am totally uncertain as to whether the Leap 15.0 YaST is setup to use “a traditional NTP Client” or “Chrony” …
Whether or not YaST supports both NTP Clients and, whether or not YaST is capable of choosing the NTP Client which is activated is, AFAICS, totally unclear …
[HR][/HR]I can find nothing in the Release Notes related to the change of “preferred NTP Client” …
The only clues I know of are, this Forum and, the German Wikipedia entry related to openSUSE® …
Please check the content of ‘/etc/chrony.conf’ against the documentation in man (5).
Use ‘chronyc’ to examine what Chrony is doing: “chronyc tracking”, “chronyc sources”, “chronyc sourcestats” and “chronyc activity” are possibly a good start to help determine what’s going on …
Well everything is fine in /etc/chrony.conf and chrocyc is reporting that the system time is synchronized fine, the servers are available and reachable, so i guess the problem is with YaST and not chrony.
