With the last versions of AsusWrt Merlin running on a Asus RT-AC56U I'm running in trouble with NTP time sync.

More specifically, NTP just does not work, not automatically at reboot, nor by clicking "Apply" on the related Admin webgui page, nor by using the NTP CLI commands.

This is a BIG issue to me, as it obviously prevents ANY VPN connection due to date set at 1970 at bootstrap (and certificates are invalid, of course).

The ONLY solution I have found is running rdate program installed by ipkg and putting it in start-up scripts.

NTP daemon is running:

Code:
# ps w | grep ntp

  787 admin     6272 S    ntp
13562 admin     1084 S    ntpclient -h time.nist.gov -i 3 -l -s

By manually trying to run the NTP client the program seems to terminate with no clue:

Code:
# ntpclient -h time.nist.gov -i 3 -l -s -d
Configuration:
  -c probe_count 1
  -d (debug)     1
  -h hostname    time.nist.gov
  -i interval    3
  -l live        1
  -p local_port  0
  -s set_clock   1
setup_receive:: bind...
setup_transmit:: connect...

Listening...
Sending ...
Terminated

Has RMerlin some clue?

Thanks in advance.
