I'm forwarding this question from a colleague of mine... She's trying to set up an ntp server one one box and ntp client on the other box. The client seems to work fine because when pointing it to a public ntp server, everything works. But when pointing to the internal ntp server, connection is failed. As a test, the firewall has been disabled on the server. What else must be done to make the server an ntp server and accept connections?

Thanks in advance,
Normally, when the NTP client is configured, the server also works. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It should just work. Please provide the output of the following command to be run on the ntp server: ntpq -pn Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Never mind... Apparently, even though I asked her if her firewall was really down, it wasn't. I've shown her how to enable 123 in the firewall port. On Mon, 2007-10-15 at 16:47 -0500, Bryen wrote:

LOL, that's why sanity checks are always a good idea. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Googling hints that some 'restrict' commands may be necessary in the config file but I've never set up a server. Unless you're a network admin, there's not much point, AFAIK. What is in her /etc/ntp.conf? Has she installed and read the xntp-doc package?

Can you confirm that the server is listening on other network addresses besides localhost?
