I've been trying the peers command in ntpq on a number of time servers and finding that for as many that do respond, there are about an equal number that do not. An example of a failing response is:
ntpq> host sundial.columbia.edu current host set to hickory.cc.columbia.edu ntpq> peers hickory.cc.columbia.edu: timed out, nothing received ***Request timed out I can reproduce identical successes and failures from 3 computers running different OSs on independent networks. These I've tried work just fine: timex.cs.columbia.edu time.euro.apple.com lain.ziaspace.com ntp.nblug.org ntp1.cs.wisc.edu clock1.unc.edu But these time out: sundial.columbia.edu time.apple.com morose.quex.org ntp.sycharlutheran.org ntp.bytestacker.com ntp1.kansas.net All of the above were tested and gave the same results on kennedy1.aecom.yu.edu (Linux with ntpq [EMAIL PROTECTED]) fluxsoft.com (FreeBSD with ntpq 4.2.0-a) ool-45766590.dyn.optonline.net (Mac OS X with ntpq [EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- Maurice Volaski, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computing Support, Rose F.
