Well, the time port (37 tcp/udp) is not reachable. rdate is _NOT_ ntp. ntp port would be 123. And you need an ntp client, which rdate is not. Some ntp servers offer also the classic time service, but that's not a requirement. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Some ntp servers offer also the classic time service, but that's not a requirement. Thank you. It's clear to me know. I got confused because rdate will happily connect to other ntp servers (e.g. ntp.demon.co.uk) but as you say some still provide the time service. -- Regards, Mick pgpewnHhuc3Mc.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] NTP or chrony?
For a laptop . . . What do/would you use and why? I can't be bothered setting my clock manually anymore and thought of moving on with the times (pun intended). :) -- Regards, Mick pgpzGJxCqThQR.pgp Description: PGP signature

I should use it on mine, but never bothered to set it up, I still use rdate run from the network postup() script. -- Neil Bothwick By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
