You are confusing rdate and ntp. rdate is port 37 (tcp and udp), typically disabled as a DoS on the machine running the reference can be had easily. ntp runs on port 123 rdate (traditionally) does not even speak the protocol of ntp. Why would you have rdate vs ntp installed on the one machine? Is it a commercial UNIX? If not, install ntpdate and ntp. BTW, rdate is referenced here: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc868.html Where as ntp v3 is here: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1305.html and snto is here: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2030.html They are related but not interchangeable *UNLESS* you have a time-client the does both or more. Use ntp anyway. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
