Re: NTP

Hello,

Thanks for the info -- for some reason I kept on checking out 'ntpd'
thinking it was the most likely candidate for a service, but it
doesn't appear to be.. but on the other hand, /etc/ntp.conf definitely
has parameters for listening and offering up it's time -- it looks
like what I want.

Thanks again,

katsu

I believe it does both. On the other hand, make sure that you have
neither a firewall, nor a proxy server, that's blocking the ntp ports.
