NTP Server on FreeBSD

Hello, I'm trying to create a NTP server on a FreeBSD machine inside my local network, so all the clients of that network can actually query for that machine.
Should be of no problem right?
Here's the configuration of the /etc/ntp.conf on the FreeBSD machine:
Code:
server br.pool.ntp.org burst

driftfile /var/db/ntp.drift

logfile /vat/log/ntp.log

restrict default ignore
restrict 10.100.0.1 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap

It should get the time from br.pool.ntp.org, and restrict everything besides the local network right?
Here's the output of a linux machine when I try to execute
Code:
ntpdate -d -t 60 10.100.0.1

Code:
transmit(10.100.0.1)
receive(10.100.0.1)
transmit(10.100.0.1)
receive(10.100.0.1)
transmit(10.100.0.1)
receive(10.100.0.1)
transmit(10.100.0.1)
receive(10.100.0.1)
transmit(10.100.0.1)

11 Jun 15:38:42 ntpdate[7791]: no server suitable for synchronization found

Can anyone please help me out?

Thanks a lot.

NTP needs some time so sync with other servers (even when using burst option). If your stratum is too low (16 = not synchronized) clients will refuse to take time from the server. How long have you waited? What does

Code:
ntpq -c rl

output look like?
