James, Make sure your ntp.conf file allows other systems to use it as a server. (It's a very _simple_ authentication scheme.) You may see something in there like this: restrict default noquery notrust nomodify restrict 127.0.0.1 restrict 192.169.10.0 mask 255.255.255.0

Access is denied. They are telling me it has to be an authentication issue with Linux. I am telling them that this is impossible since xntpd is providing a tcp/ip service on a tcp/ip port. The service does not authenticate, and the tcp/ip layer does not authenticate therefore it's not a Linux problem. What I suspect is that their windows server is trying to treat Linux like a domain controller. They also think that because I have SAMBA running, their time request must be being delivered by SMB (false, of course) Does anyone know what you have to twiddle in order to make the windex time thing get time from an ntp time server?
