Hi

I've been struggling with a particularly painful problem with my ntpd
here. I am able to adjust the clock using "ntpdate" without any
problems:

# ntpdate time.nist.gov 
12 Dec 10:40:57 ntpdate[1152]: adjust time server 192.43.244.18 offset -0.059697 sec
#

but ntpd always fails. From tcpdump, I can see it communicating with the
server, but just once. Here is the showpeer output:

ntpdc> showpeer time.nist.gov

Here is the tcpdump output I get:

10:45:57.912825 MTL-HSE-ppp191859.qc.sympatico.ca.ntp > time.nist.gov.ntp:  v4 client strat 0 poll 6 prec -20 [tos 0x10] 
10:45:58.084038 time.nist.gov.ntp > MTL-HSE-ppp191859.qc.sympatico.ca.ntp:  v4 server strat 1 poll 6 prec -18 [tos 0x10] 

I pay a beer to anyone passing through montreal and solving this thing,
as it's getting me completly mad.

Note that I am behind NAT+ipfw. But I kinda opened the rules to run my
tests... :) Anyways, the packets *are* coming to and fro, both with
ntpdate and ntpd.
