This is more for my reference, so I don't forget about this. It concerns a user who was never able to get WB system clock set, even though he had a working network connection. Our current behaviour with LMS installed, (which has a dep on ntpdate), is to run ntpdate on startup to force an immediate setting of system time, then the chronyd service is resposbile for updating. The problem is, that both ntpdate and chrony by default use privileged ports (ie, < 1024, ntp port is 123) for queries and it appears some router hardware doesn't like natting back to privileged ports, guess they consider it a security risk.
Solution: 1. Add "-u" to OPTIONS var in /etc/sysconfig/ntpdate. 2. Add "port 11123" to /etc/chrony.conf so it binds to that rather than 123. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
