Yes it does. The major difference is that ntpd will use a source port of 123 whilst ntpdate will use a dynamic source port. Is it possible that your NAT rules are interfering with ntpd using port 123? Can you check that ntpd is binding to port 123 (using lsof or netstat+fstat). As well as tcpdump'ing the NTP traffic, you might like to ktrace ntpd and verify that incoming packets are actually arriving there. If your NAT box is not busy, you might be able to enable logging on som relevant rules and see what your firewall is actually doing with the packets. -- Peter Jeremy
