yes, though, when I set to: -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 ntp -p udp -y -j ACCEPT it was failing to start, anyhow, I eventually worked out that I need to remove 'y' from the line, BUT, I fail to sync even if i shutdown the ipchains service so, whilst I was having problem working correct syntax for UDP, I shut down the ipchains, still, no go: # /sbin/service ipchains stop Flushing all chains: [ OK ] Removing user defined chains: [ OK ] Resetting built-in chains to the default ACCEPT policy: [ OK ] # /usr/sbin/ntpdate clock.redhat.com 18 Nov 14:54:29 ntpdate[6193]: no server suitable for synchronization found # if it fails with ipchains down, wouldn't that imply the problem is elsewhere ? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
