When I enter 'ntpdate -dv 192.168.0.3', I get an error message back
saying "No server suitable for synchronization found". I can ping the
other machine, 192.168.0.3 (the Linux box), just fine, so it is not a
network problem. (At least, I don't know what I don't know that might
make it a network problem.) ntpdate sends its packets to port 123, and
my /etc/services shows ntp on that port with both tcp and ucp. So, that
should work, shouldn't it?
