I deny ALL in /etc/host.deny, and have most services commented out in /etc/inetd.conf, but nothing has changed in these areas since long before rdate started failing. However, see below. Michael B. Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I cant say whether your theory is correct or not. It sounds plausible. However, I did have the same problem a while back. I am pretty sure it the remote server refusing. I resolved the problem by installing the nptdate package, and using my name server as a time host also. You seem to be right. I have successfully tried rdate nameserver. As a matter of interest, I have a rather clueless isp (local cable company) using M$ software. The time returned from its nameserver is three to four minutes slow. My domain is hosted by Greenbush Technologies, which uses Debian, and is run by a clueful administrator. That nameserver gives the correct time. Thanks to both of you for your responses. Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D. Hilliard [EMAIL PROTECTED] |_) (_) |_) 1294 S.W.

rdate can't connect socket
I posted the following to -user three days ago with no response. Can someone here help? I have the following command in a cron.daily script: rdate time.mist.god This has worked consistently for a long time, but for the past week or two it returns: rdate: Could not connect socket: Connection refused This message returns almost instantly - too quickly, I believe, to be a connection refused at the remote server. Can this be a socket on my machine that refuses a connection? I have rdate 1.3-3. Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D. Hilliard [EMAIL PROTECTED] |_) (_) |_) 1294 S.W.
