I think I have another solution, and an explanation. ntpdate -u tells it to use an unprivileged port. The man page notes that -d (debug) always uses an unprivileged port, and I guess -q (query) does also. So I expect I can close the port and use -u instead. On Fri, Apr 20, 2001 at 10:26:16PM -

Thanks. Opening up the port was exactly what I needed. Odd that query doesn't require the port, but actually setting the time does. On Fri, Apr 20, 2001 at 02:17:11PM -0800, Ethan Benson wrote: > On Fri, Apr 20, 2001 at 10:58:21AM -0700, Ross Boylan wrote: > > I installed ntpdate and can get the
