ok . you are not reaching the servers at all Is there a firewall between you and the servers? try ntpq -p ns1.usg.edu here is what I got on a machine with direct access to the net.

Anyway the ntpq documentation page explains all this better than I can but suffice it to say that this machine is pretty damn close to the top of the food chain. Trouble is you can't talk to it. find out why, Usually firewall issues port 123 udp and tcp is what I usually open up. I don'tremember if it uses both or not but lets get it working before we get to semantics. there is also a debugging techniques page on my 7.3 machine in /usr/share/doc/ntp-4.1.1/ HTH Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
