I'm trying to figure out why my server is unable to be a "suitable server for synchronization". On the ntpd server (will also refer to it as the server), it has a connection to about 5 different stratum 2 and stratum 3 servers. It seems to be running fine, when I execute the command "ntpq -p" and I pull up a list of those servers, and everything appears to be normal, offsets avg. around 20 and jitters avg. around 35.
Whenever I try and sync time to my server, from a remote location (using ntpdate -u <myremotentpdservername> ), I always get the error "no server suitable for synchronization found". My server is firewalled, but it is allowing TCP and UDP connection through port 123 (verified by putting the firewall in debug mode, and seeing the packets get accepted through the firewall). I also tried this from a computer on the same network, again with no firewall. I have tried from different locations, also not firewalled, and they can't seem to sync the time with my server, and I can't seem to figure out why. I have the following in my ntp.conf file to allow for remote connections: restrict 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 nomodify notrap >From what I can tell, everything appears to be fine with the server. I am also unable to sync the time on another computer on the same network, again, with no firewall interference. Where can I look for causes of this problem?
