Try putting "iptables -A input_int -j ACCEPT --source [IP_TIMESERVER] -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -p udp --sport ntp --dport ntp" into the hook fw_custom_before_port_handling() of /etc/sysconfig/scripts/SuSEfirewall2-custom (without quotes and in one line). [IP_TIMESERVER] should be the IP of the timeserver you would like to connect with ntpdate. On Montag, 3. März 2003 21:37, Klaus Vink Slott wrote:
I have a 8.1 server standing outside my firewall, protected using YAST with SuSEfirewall. I can reach the server using http and ssh - no problem.
But I would like to get xntpd to update the time - Is it then nessesary to adjust the firewall configuration?
