Looked at that. From all the doc I can see, I have no restrictions in this
at all.
A curiosity exists however...
While we cannot seem to get the windows 2003 server to do it correctly, a
little piece of code called aboutime that is shareware (author calls it
careware but I digress) can hit my Linux ntp sever with TCP, UDP and SNTP
and get the time returned to it. I cannot believe that it is authentication
at linux. Now if they are attempting to route this over SMB, well that's
another story. I don't have it working quite right yet, as it's not been a
priority.

James,
Make sure your ntp.conf file allows other systems to use it as a server.
(It's a very _simple_ authentication scheme.) You may see something in
there like this:
restrict default noquery notrust nomodify
restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict 192.169.10.0 mask 255.255.255.0

Subject: XNTP providing time source to Windex 2003 server
The windex folks are trying to get windows 2003 server to get the time from
my Linux box 'rockhopper' using the net time command from within a shell.
the command and results are this:
H:\>net time \\rockhopper
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
They are telling me it has to be an authentication issue with Linux. I am
telling them that this is impossible since xntpd is providing a tcp/ip
service on a tcp/ip port. The service does not authenticate, and the tcp/ip
layer does not authenticate therefore it's not a Linux problem.
What I suspect is that their windows server is trying to treat Linux like a
domain controller. They also think that because I have SAMBA running, their
time request must be being delivered by SMB (false, of course)
Does anyone know what you have to twiddle in order to make the windex time
thing get time from an ntp time server?
