I don't want the standard xntpd server, I want a server that you can point 'ntpdate' too along the lines of 'ntpdate foof.com' and it updates your clock. The reason I want this server is I have a firewalled network, and I want servers on the firewall'ed side to somehow get their time sanity from a machine which can sync with others in the world. I figured I could have a server outside the firewall keep in sync with other boxes on the net, and in turn it could be a server for the firewalled side of the network. The connectivity isn't a concern--I can handle that. My only problem is I have no idea how to setup a server that 'ntpdate' will recognize as such. I don't want to setup a continuous xntpd syncing mechanism, I just want to have the firewalled boxes run ntpdate once a night. Help? I've dickered with xntpd trying to get it to do what I want to no avail... -Brandon Gillespie
