Also, the start script "/usr/sbin/rcxntpd" calls ntpdate prior to starting the xntpd daemon. Ie, it first sets the clock in one shot, then starts the daemon to keep the clock in sync. But the OP tried the correct sequence and failed: pia:~ # /etc/init.d/xntpd stop Shutting down network time protocol daemon (NTPD) done pia:~ # ps aux | grep ntp root 7851 0.0 0.0 1740 572 pts/7 S+ 19:41 0:00 grep ntp pia:~ # ntpdate tick.keso.fi 6 Nov 19:41:15 ntpdate[7856]: no server suitable for synchronization found So I think this is symptomatic of firewall problem. I had that problem. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDbmsYtTMYHG2NR9URAj/rAJ92ZUdxRHu/TtEfcNLUAV5ebMo5YgCfefxm nB98hBdfPYgvg2MOgOoZZZg= =/c5c -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
