I just found out why my ntpdate synchronization was not working: the
strict firewalling setup!
I used "strict firewalling" on install, and everything's locked down: you
even have to MANUALLY specify outgoing connections (in this case port 123
tcp/udp for NTP). anyway, it's sufficiently strict that NMAP gets to do
nothing. =)
A step in the right direction IMHO. RedHat has been traditionally the
"grab-bag of security-hole-ridden goodies."
