Even though xntpd is running and there are some packets exchanged (detected with EtherNet sniffer), the ntpdate command on the client yeilds "no suitable servers for synchronization found" ... I'd like to have the server synchronizing from some "unspecified" source, for now external Internet servers but in the future possibly a radio. So in either case, the server would service requests using whatever the system time was. Accuracy & precision are not a big concern here, just having some type of local sycnhronization service. The clients can't ntpdate directly via the Internet servers due to a firewall. Thanks, -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie L.
