SNTP isn't working from RH 3.0 server

Debbie Fleith — Fri, 14 Jan 2005 13:17:45 GMT

I have ntpd up and running on a RH 3.0 server, and the firewall configured to allow udp/123.

We have a client handheld app that needs to get sntp/udp updates from this server and it is not working. It worked fine from a RH 2.1 server with no special configuration of ntp, just changing firewall rules to allow udp/123.

RH support hasn't been much help. Can anyone help on this forum?

Hi Debbie,

Let's suppose that you have exactly the same configuration between working RH21 and not working RH3.

Is it possible for you to clear all firewall rules (just to test) ?

If yes :

iptables -F
iptables -X
iptables -Z
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t nat -X
iptables -t nat -Z

If it still fails to sync, then firewall is not an issue.

Good luck.

Kodjo

Hi Fleith ,

I did not consider this is a firewall problem. It should be a problem about your client.
