All, I put the NTP rpm in my mandrake 9.0 linux box.
Set the ntp.conf "server" to 192.168.1.254 (firewall address). Inserted a /etc/ntp.drift and put a 1 in the file. Started the ntpd daemon. Tested out the troubleshooting guide and on the mandrake box tried a: # ntpq -p 192.168.1.254 The results indicated that the firewall was doing its job as a time server. The display indicated every server I had in the conf file of the fire wall as well as detailed statistics on how much they vary from each other. Now the strange part: From the M$ box, using Automachron time update software, the time will sync fine to the mandrake box, but still has the socket error for the firewall. Looks like I need to test some other software that will be more forgiving with the firewall. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
