Hi,

I'm having a problem connecting to the public NTP servers.
I have tried clock.redhat.com, time.windows.com (well...uhmm)
and ntp.debian.org. I use `ntpdate' to synchronise my system 
when I connect to the ISP using dial-up. I have been using
the "-u" option consistently to query the NTP servers, but,
I get the error:

        malaika:root# ntpdate -q -u ntp.debian.org
        server 192.25.206.10, stratum 0, offset 0.000000, delay 0.00000
        13 Jul 23:21:36 ntpdate[1006]: no server suitable for
        synchronization found

Obviously, my ISP is blocking outgoing udp port 123. What, I 
want to know is, does ntp.debian.org have another port open
that will redirect to 123. I will have to use iptables NAT 
table to change the destination port, wonder if it is possible!

If anyone can suggest alternatives as well, it will do.

Thank you,

Didar Hussain
