I can manually set the time on my system with ntpdate: # ntpdate time.nist.gov 2 Apr 14:38:16 ntpdate[16583]: step time server 192.43.244.18 offset -48.173770 sec However, once I start ntpd, it never adjusts the time. This is on a firewall system running iptables, with these rules: $IPT -A OUT_NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 123 -j ACCEPT # time $IPT -A OUT_FIREWALL -m state --state NEW -p udp --dport 123 -j ACCEPT # ntpd $IPT -A OUT_NETWORK -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 123 -j ACCEPT # time $IPT -A OUT_FIREWALL -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 123 -j ACCEPT # ntpd What's wrong here? -- Tim Evans, TKEvans.com, Inc. | 5 Chestnut Court tkevans@xxxxxxxxxxx | Owings Mills, MD 21117 http://www.tkevans.com/ | 443-394-3864 http://www.come-here.com/News/ |
