You are absolutely correct, David. I tried a Windows NTP client and it worked right away. I always think time servers are using only one protocol, well until now. I even saw the following on Todd's site:
ntpdate: NTP update utility, replaces rdate and is much more accurate but I guess I misunderstood it. Thanks a lot for the clear explanation. -----Original Message----- Message: 10 Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2002 23:30:48 -0600 From: David Douthitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Leaf-user] xntpd does not respond to clients To: LEAF User Mailing List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 2/19/02 at 12:16 PM, Binh Do <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I installed Todd Horsman's xntpd.lrp and runs it with his > config file.

First, rdate does NOT use NTP. As far as I know, there isn't a time server (port 37) in LEAF. If there was, it would be inetd that would do it, and you'd have to make sure it was enabled in /etc/inetd.conf When you run ntpq, you are using NTP. When you run rdate, you're using time. I don't think rdate is even a part of xntpd. Perhaps you want to use ntpdate instead? > # rdate -p 127.0.0.1 > rdate: 127.0.0.1: Connection refused Another thing to check - don't use 127.0.0.1, but the actual IP of the host. -- David Douthitt UNIX Systems Administrator HP-UX, Unixware, Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
