Hi, ferran!
What is /etc/conf? ntpd is looking for /etc/ntp.conf
You can read about boot codes in wiki or in FAQ.
I don't understand what's going on, and I can not do any testing, so let's take the things as they are. You have the working ntp servers, so anybody can repeat Your steps, if necessary.

yes. I would say /etc/ntp.conf It was just a writing mistake.
Ok. It's a good moment that the people talks :)

Hi, ferran!
Some observations about ntpd.
Exit code with -q switch says nothing about sucess or fail:
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ sudo ntpd -q -p rubbish.box
tc@box:~$ echo $?
0
--- End code ---
Some peer acessibility testing may be done with the help of -w switch:
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ sudo ntpd -w -p pool.ntp.org

--- End code ---
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ sudo ntpd -w -p rubbish.box
ntpd: bad address 'rubbish.box'
ntpd: bad address 'rubbish.box'

Multiple servers can be used:
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ sudo ntpd -w -p rubbish.box -p pool.ntp.org
ntpd: bad address 'rubbish.box'

If You will be in the mood for experimenting, it will be interesting to see the results.

Yes. the last discovery i did was to aply the /etc/ntp.conf into the ntpd -w -q
--- Code: ---sudo ntpd -w -q /etc/ntp.conf
--- End code ---
It works successfully ! but the /etc/ntp.conf dissapear with each reboot or shutdown :'(
Rich:
Hi ferran
You need to add:
--- Code: ---etc/ntp.conf
--- End code ---
to your /opt/.filetool.lst file and then run a backup. Note there is no leading slash in the path.
