I don't see anything other than the start up message in the logs.

Here are the ntp.conf files that I'm using:

Firewall:

 server tick.usno.navy.mil
 server tock.usno.navy.mil
 server clock.tricity.wsu.edu

 driftfile /etc/ntp/ntp.drift
 broadcast 192.168.1.255


Clients on the 192.168.1 network have this in their ntp.conf:

 broadcast client

The triple homed server:

 broadcastclient
 broadcast 192.168.2.255  
 broadcast 192.168.3.255  

Machines on subnet B & C all have:

 broadcastclient

Does this look reasonable?  What other outputs would help?

Thanks for your replies!
