NTP Connection refused

If it were me, I'd determine a few things which would determine how to proceed. If using net/ntp is necessary, rebuild and reinstall it. If it does not have to be the port, deinstall it and use the base version.

The missing libraries problems shown above can be caused by several things. Using binary packages could do it, or not following /usr/ports/UPDATING.
 
We used precompiled packages from another box, which is probably the cause. I'll rebuild it from ports and update this thread on the results.
 
I'm back to Post #12 again, odd. I thought reinstalling the port would have fixed whatever the issue was as well.

For the port install, I did the following:
Code:
# portsnap fetch extract
# portinstall ntp

Only answered yes to net/ntp.

Did I miss something?
 
I found an interesting thread on the FreeBSD pipemail listings here.

He has the exact same issue, where ntpd(8) exits on signal 11, and only works if the -d option is specified. He indicated that he recompiled Perl to fix the problem.

Should I attempt that, or is this different?
 
It looks like Perl is a build requirement for net/ntp rather than a run dependency. Did those commands you ran actually reinstall NTP? How about portupgrade -f net/ntp? Maybe you have an issue with corrupt files.
