How could i open the 123 UDP port

Hi,

First, if you are behind a firewall, make sure that firewall is not closing that port. How to open it? Well, you haven't given the details about what kind of firewall is.

Also, (if your using Netfilter on Linux) make sure the port is open. Run

It's SuSEFirewall(what about in that case?) Is xntpd-4.1.1 bug free or not? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jorge Fábregas" To: Sent: Friday, September 03, 2004 7:28 PM Subject: Re: [SLE] NTP & SUSE 9 the

If you're looking for a good clock-setting engine you can run ntpdate from cron to set your clock. It is a one-shot deal, and can be run once per day or whatever is comfortable for your situation. Example follows: ==== #!/bin/sh # # Is internet connection active? result=$(cinternet -i ppp0 -s | grep connect) #Test to see if the value is not NULL if [ -n "$result" ] then #Yes... Update hdwe clock ntpdate -b -u 132.246.168.148 #open server IP #No... so just exit else exit 0 fi ==== Works like a champ. Thanks to a couple other suse-linux-e members who dropped the ideas on this list. :-) -- ..."Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio "If music be the food of love, why can't rabbits sing?"
