We have a nice, new, clean install of Fedora Core 6 -- and want
to use it, among other things, as a DNS server and NTP source. I can
verify from the console and from SSH sessions that the DNS does resolve
correctly, and the NTP daemon does operate correctly. Both DNS and time
service do what they're supposed to with respect to the local computer.
However, I am unable to get the box to 'serve' these services.
DNS inquiries and NTP inquiries seem to be ignored from both Windoze and
other (older) Red Hat boxes. I have told the firewall to allow port 53
and 123 traffic -- and have even disabled the firewall completely (we
are not connected to the Internet).
This appears as if the named and ntpd are not listening on their
designated ports. Any idea on how I can verify that? How can I make
this server serve?
TIA, Howard

Just one other thing. Make sure that you told the firewall to
open UDP (not TCP) port 123 for ntp. Again, I don't run DNS,
but I seem to recall that it wants both TCP and UDP opened for
port 53.
