NTPd

[Christopher Wagner]

Well, I hadn't opened a port in my firewall, but it's open now..
--
ACCEPT     tcp  -y----  anywhere             anywhere              any ->
ntp
--
I still, however, seem to be getting the same results.  I've pasted in the
results of ntpq below..
---
[root at sparky root]# ntpq -p 132.239.254.49

I've never used the debugging level, so I can't make much sense of it
either.
One obvious question:  your are opening up your firewall to allow ntp?

Perhaps you could send your ntp.conf file, and after starting it wait 15
minutes then send the output of "ntpq -p".

What happens if you tdo "ntpq -p hostname", where hostname is the name
of a ntp host you are trying to sync to?  How about "ntptrace hostname"?
