Dear colleagues, i wonder if suse took some sophisticated measures to prevent the xntpd from being contacted by clients :-| I configured the server connecting to two "outside" servers as time sources. These connections work fine (shown with "ntpq -p"). The local source was left untouched. Now, if i try to "netdate" to this timeserver from a (linux) client, i immediately get the message "connection refused". Here's the ntpd.conf, maybe i've missed sth?
Thanx a lot for your patience Uli
server 127.127.1.0 # local clock (LCL) fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 # LCL is unsynchronized

Your server has to listen to udp-port 37, it has to be configured/enabled in /etc/(x)inetd.conf. BTW, as far as I know, netdate doesn't use the network time protokoll, it just ask the server what time it has and sets it on the local box.
