I am having problems with the NTP client end of the software the comes as part of Red Hat 7.3. I am talking to a RH 7.2 NTP server, and before I upgraded my notebook to 7.3 (it was vaguely at 7.2) it could get the time, and now it can't.
When I ask it what it is doing, it just sits there: [root@spot etc]# ntpq -p remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== *LOCAL(0) LOCAL(0) 10 l 35 64 177 0.000 0.000 0.008 borg.org 0.0.0.0 16 u - 64 0 0.000 0.000 4000.00 [root@spot etc]# If I do a tcpdump while I do an /etc/init.d/ntpd restart, and then another ntpq -p, I get: [root@spot etc]# tcpdump tcpdump: listening on eth0 00:05:05.985526 spot.borg.org.32805 > borg.org.domain: 51621+ A? borg.org.
