Hello Greg,
gf> You are confusing rdate and ntp.
I understand that they are distinct programs.
gf> rdate (traditionally) does not even speak the protocol of ntp.
I am trying to follow the instructions in 16.4.1 here.
(Join the following two lines.)
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/
system-administrator/ch-sysadmin-time.html
gf> Why would you have rdate vs ntp installed on the one machine?
They are not. To reiterate, ntp is on a server.
rdate is on the client as instructed in the manual
cited above.
gf> Use ntp anyway.
OK; section 16.4.1 in the admin manual must be wrong.
gf> You also need to configure your machine that you are referencing to
reply to requests.
gf> http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/index.html
gf> Usually, you need to allow local only clients/networks.
That is more helpful, thanks. I'm still not certain
about the client. Are you insisting that it should
have ntp also?
Thanks, ... Peter
