Re: ntp won't work
I was able to get ntpdate to run manually but it only seems to work if I
open up 123 udp on my firewall. I modified the ntpdate init.d script to
remove the -u option which seemed to help when I run that. But like you
said shouldn't i be able to run this with the default debian install and
more importantly without opening ports?
thanks
