The man pages at ntp.org don't list an upper-case -U, just a lower case one, and default setups of both RHAS 2.x, and Fedora Core Release 1 don't have ntpd man pages, even though ntpd is installed. Still, I probably should have figured it out. > Is your ntpd server synced? Use "ntpq" to check the status of the servers > you are looking at. > > Do you have a firewall in the way?

I did use iptables on the server side to log packets coming in, and hosts on my network are sending udp queries to port 123. My server's firewall isn't blocking them. Essentially, I'm trying to act as a time server for my internal network. But I'm doing it with a default fedora ntp setup. It looks like I may have to delete the rpm and roll my own install. I've gotten that configuration to work where I've done that. === Al
