Eric, it's always more secure to have your own time server, even if you won't be able to maintain such precision like atomic clocks will :) In case that you would like to use ntp server outside your network you have to open udp port 123 (ntp), source for those packets should be also udp port 123. But this could be enough for some experienced bored 'schoolboys' to do DoS or something like this. regards, Arek > Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 09:37:09 +0200 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: time synchronisation > > Hi, > > I want to synchronise the time on my firewalls with ntp.
