Generally. A listening port is where a process listens for incoming traffic. For example, 80 is where your webserver sits. Traffic to 80 will be intercepted by apache (or alternative). Your outgoing web queries sit at some port above 1024, and *send* queries to 80. Responses are directed to whatever port the outbound request went to. ntpdate is presumably similar. > There is the "-u" option for ntpdate which might be useful - Thanks, I'd missed that. Still doesn't work though. -- Karsten M. Self <kmself@ix.netcom.com> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
