It doesn't help if I use your command or /etc/init.d/xntpd stop, in yast I still get the same error:-(
This is done as root:
pia:/etc # /etc/init.d/xntpd restart Shutting down network time protocol daemon (NTPD) done Try to get initial date and time via NTP from rasmus.uib.no failed Starting network time protocol daemon (NTPD) This indicates to me one of a couple of things: First, rasmus.uib.no is not responding to time (ntp or ntpdate) inquiries, but I think that has been resolved.
Second, You do not have port 123 opened eitehr in your firewall or router. This is a UDP query, and therefore, you need to allow incoming traffic on UDP port 123.
Hmmm. I use a Linksys WRT54G router/firewall and have no such problem. All outside access blocked except for what I allow and port 123 is not one of them. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
