Well my firewall should allow outgoing initiated sessions from the ntpd (internal) server. From what I read, the remote ntpd server does not initiate communications, it my server that initates the communications? That assumed, my firewall rules (which are undergoing revision) are ok? OK, I'm new to ntpd, but it looks straightforward. after emerging, I started up ntpd and added it to the default run level. Then I checked and got: ntpq -p remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== ecoca.eed.usv.r 80.96.120.253 2 u 8 64 1 202.639 1436722 0.001 then: # date Wed Feb 1 14:58:04 Local time zone must be set--see zic manual page 2006 /etc/localtime is a lock file so where do I correct/set the time zone to EST (eastern standard time) so ntpd will see it can correct my actual time (it's off by a little more than (1) hour. But now when I run 'ntpq -p' I get: ntpq: read: Connection refused What did I mess up or miss? James man zic and man ntpd did not help, or I missed the file to edit or the correct command syntax....
