It sure did, but still seems I am stuck. I have extracted the Stratum-2 servers from this site and run a test against them, no luck still. The error msg I get is the same: root@ /home/wash] 2# cat FILE2 ntp1.icomtek.csir.co.za tock.nml.csir.co.za ntp.is.co.za igubu.saix.net ntp1.webonline.co.za ntp-ndf.mweb.co.za ntp-nld.mweb.co.za 1# for server in `cat FILE2`; do ntpdate $server; done 30 Sep 10:42:58 ntpdate[55266]: no server suitable for synchronization found 30 Sep 10:43:02 ntpdate[55267]: no server suitable for synchronization found 30 Sep 10:43:06 ntpdate[55268]: no server suitable for synchronization found 30 Sep 10:43:10 ntpdate[55269]: no server suitable for synchronization found 30 Sep 10:43:17 ntpdate[55272]: no server suitable for synchronization found 30 Sep 10:43:24 ntpdate[55273]: no server suitable for synchronization found 30 Sep 10:43:30 ntpdate[55274]: no server suitable for synchronization found Is there something that I could be ignoring (since this is my 1st go at setting up a Time Server) that is blatantly obvious? For one I know (connectionwsie) that SA may not be the closest to me, but surely their Time Servers should serve me well ;) I am still at a loss as to why I get the message. -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington "The box said 'Requires Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com Windows 95, NT, or better,' Tel: +254 2 313985-9 +254 2 313922 so I installed FreeBSD."
