> try running ntpdate before starting ntpd. thanks, marty, all I think the remote f/wall is blocking me, I've allowed ntp in iptables, but, I keep getting this, I've now asked for port 123 to be opened: # ntpdate clock.redhat.com 12 Nov 23:32:00 ntpdate[19757]: no server suitable for synchronization found # ntpdate 12 Nov 23:32:08 ntpdate[19760]: no servers can be used, exiting # service ipchains status: ..
