Actually it is: $ ntptrace time.fu-berlin.de 130.133.1.10: stratum 1, offset 0.011233, synch distance 0.00153, refid 'GPS' Matthias, try running "ntpdate -d time.fu-berlin.de", which won't try to set the local clock but will print out some debugging info that might tell you why it coudln't fetch anything from the server. Maybe you have a firewall blocking incoming port 123 UDP traffic? -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
