Hi,

I emerged NTP on my router. I run etc/init.d/ntpd start. When I look at all started demons with rc-status it tells me that NTPD started OK.

When I try to run /etc/init.d/ntp-client start on the client I get the following error messages:

RTFM

If you want NTPd to sync to your box's hardware clock, you need to tell ntpd which driver to use. You do this by using the following server:

Bit of misunderstanding going on here. You need to allow the router to update off an ntp server as well, as its not a stratum1 or stratum2 server (and indeed shouldnt be).
Configure the ntp daemon on your router by editing the /etc/ntpd.conf file, and specify what timeserver you want the daemon to sync with. You will also need to edit the restrict options to enable other computers on your local network to sync off the router, as the default is to not allow other computers to sync off the server.
