[newbie] ntpd issues
I have a Cisco 2500 router setup to deny ALL activity on port 123 (ntpd). The Cisco router is my time server. I have finally found out why i am getting errors in my Cisco logs stating an NTP server is getting denied, its b/c i had one specified in ntp.conf and its not the server that i thought it was. I changed the line that stated server ntpd server name to the IP of the Cisco router and restarted NTPD and i am getting no server suitable for syncronization found in /var/log/messages. MCC does NOT allow me to type in a different NTP server than what is listed thereit only lets me choose from the drop down menu. I do NOT want to select one of those, I want to type in the IP of my NTP server on my Cisco router. How do i change this on MDK9? TIA Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

What am I missing? Anne Hi Anne, Did you try clicking on the link in the top/left of the screen module.conf ans see if it picked up the time server?
