I checked my system, and /etc/ntp/step-tickers doesn't
exist, even though
hosts beyond the firewall. Note that the -d option always uses
unprivileged ports.

Which would explain why it worked in debug mode, but not in normal mode.

Hi.
Prior to upgrading from RHL 5.2 to RHL 6.1/6.2, I've
been using ntpdate from xntpd3 to keep my computer's
clock accurate. ntpdate runs in my /etc/ppp/ip-up
script. It was working fine, however, after upgrading
to 6.1 (and the situation continues in 6.2), neither
ntpdate nor the xntpd daemon
