[SLUG] NTPD behind a masquerade

2005-08-16 Thread Peter Rundle 

Sluggers,

I've got a linux box on a private network behind another Linux box 
acting as a firewall and masquerading outbound connections. Trouble is I 
can't seem to get ntpd working on the inside machine (It's going fine on 
the outside box). Funny thing is ntpdate  works 
fine but ntpd doesn't seem to synchronise the machines clock.


Cluesticks?

TIA's

Pete

What do the logs say?

I find that a lot of the syncs time out with my main ntp boxen. I 
suspect that the main servers are extremely overloaded now that every 
home use has easy to use software to enable them to sysnc with stratum 1 
timeservers.

Trying to sync with stratum 1 servers is the problem.
Check pool.ntp.org.

Err don't think I'm trying to do that, my config is;

server 0.pool.ntp.org
server 1.pool.ntp.org
server 2.pool.ntp.org
