Unless, I add an "ALL:ALL" line in hosts.allow, I am not able to run ntpdate As indicated above. Even adding "ALL:NTP Server IP" does not help (where "NTP Server IP" is the host I'm trying to run ntpdate against). I'm confused... Tcp_wrappers is for TCP connections, and should affect only Incoming connections, but tcp_w is even causing problems for outgoing packets. I don't see any DNS traffic at the time that ntpdate is run, in case this is a resolution problem. I've added the host I'm trying to run ntpdate against in my /etc/hosts, since I've got a multi-home hosts that uses public DNS servers yet, my NTP source is inside a/my private network. Any ideas what tcp_w is doing wrong here? Marco -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
