Package: ntpdate
Version: 1:4.1.0-3
Severity: normal
the script can not synchronize to any time server when the
flags -u -b -s are used.
I checked this by running the command:
# /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u -b -s 150.254.183.15
Using the iptraf package i checked the traffic to my
server, and it sends the correct udp packages to the
foreign server, but there are no packages coming back.
When the flags are removed, the udp packages are sent
correctly and the correct answwer is received.

I think we determined that the current set of flags is OK for most uses,
but depending on the firewall configuration you may need to make some
adjustments.
