If not, do you have iptables in the way? NTP runs on TCP/UDP port 123. You could try: service iptables stop service ntpd restart If ntp comes up with that, then odds are iptables is blocking NTP traffic and you need to run system-config-network to permit that stuff through. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - I.R.S.: We've got what it takes to take what you've got! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
