Hi, I'm still having trouble getting time synchronization to work with SuSEfirewall2.

First, if I turn off the firewall, the following script works fine. When I turn on the firewall, I get an error: "No suitable server found for synchronization"; and packets to port 123 get dropped, even though I tell the firewall to allow them. What's going on?

In my firewall2 config file #################################################### FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_UDP="domain ntp 123"

I guess the the "123" above has no sense, it is not a high port. You need "yes" or "ntp" above, and you also need: FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP="123" -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
