I had this problem and just solved refers your solution, thank you

In my case, I also experience the `ntpd` state stuck in `INIT`. And I fix it by hack into built-in script. I hava TWO physical internet interfaces on my motherboard, and bridge is trun on by default, named `br0`. When I SSH into unraid, execute `ntpq -p`, the result is just as @Slappy mentioned. And then, kill ntpd, execute `ntpd -gq`, It result in something like this: ``` root@WhiteTower:~# ntpd -gq 20 Jun 22:11:24 ntpd[11706]: ntpd [email protected] Fri Jun 3 04:17:10 UTC 2022 (1): Starting 20 Jun 22:11:24 ntpd[11706]: Command line: ntpd -gq 20 Jun 22:11:24 ntpd[11706]: ---------------------------------------------------- 20 Jun 22:11:24 ntpd[11706]: ntp-4 is maintained by Network Time Foundation, 20 Jun 22:11:24 ntpd[11706]: Inc.

Here comes the important part. I modified `/etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd` from ``` ...... echo "# Generated entries follow:" >>$CONF echo "interface ignore wildcard" >>$CONF ...... ``` into ``` ...... echo "# Generated entries follow:" >>$CONF echo "interface listen br0" >>$CONF # explicitly specify listen on br0 echo "interface ignore wildcard" >>$CONF ...... ``` After that, by execute `/etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd reload` to re-generate the /etc/ntp.conf file. The conf file will look like this: ``` ...... # Generated entries follow: interface listen br0 interface ignore wildcard interface ignore ipv6 server some.ntp.server.com iburst ``` Finally, rerun `ntpd -gq` to test if it works, it could be something like this: ``` 21 Jun 13:03:47 ntpd[2288]: ntpd [email protected] Fri Jun 3 04:17:10 UTC 2022 (1): Starting 21 Jun 13:03:47 ntpd[2288]: Command line: ntpd -gq 21 Jun 13:03:47 ntpd[2288]: ---------------------------------------------------- 21 Jun 13:03:47 ntpd[2288]: ntp-4 is maintained by Network Time Foundation, 21 Jun 13:03:47 ntpd[2288]: Inc.

At the end, this solution isn't graceful, but it's the only way I found. If any one got a better solution, remind me please.
