To use rdate, I think the server must run something like xinetd
service time. Turn on xinetd, if it's not already on, and turn on time
(with chkconfig, say).
Do you have a firewall on any of your computers? For rdate you need
to let tcp port 37 into the server, and for ntpd you need to let through
udp port 123, as in "--sport ntp".
