I had a great deal of help with the design from Jim Mock of The FreeBSD'zine (http://www.freebsdzine.org). > Anyway, from your site, it seemed that the only configuration you needed for > xntpd was where to find an external time source, and that it would > automatically act as a time server for my internal net. Is this the case? Yes. xntpd can be both a server and a client at the same time. My settings for NetLab on the Time tab under Clock synchronization are: Time server: the name of my FreeBSD box which runs xntpd SNTP is selected. One other thought: is the freebsd box allowing the time protocol both in /etc/services and in your firewall (if any)? Check for port 37 both udp and tcp. Tell us if it works. -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary http://www.FreeBSDDiary.com/freebsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
