Correct, you don't need to mess with your firewall. As I understand the man page for ntpdate it doesn't use /etc/ntp.conf. You have to pass it the server addresses as command line arguments, or specify a file from which it can read them by means of the -s parameter. So "ntpdate -s /etc/ntp.conf" ought to work. Dunno about ntptimeset, never used it. Perhaps "ntptimeset -c /etc/ntp.conf". -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
