0513-059 The timed Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 21458.

On myhostB
when I do

# setclock myhostA

connect: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.  

I can do telent, ping , ftp to myhostA, port 37/tcp and 37/udp are
opened on both hosts and timed is active on both hosts.

Where I am going wrong ?  

Thanks,

Maybe you do not have the time service enabled in /etc/inetd.conf.

That service is not the same as the timed server you started
but that is used by the setclock command.

You either don't need the timed daemon if you want to use setclock
or need to run timed on both hosts: configure them as master/slave.

Look in /etc/services :
time            37/tcp          ( time service for inetd )
timed           525/udp         ( timed cli-server port )
