by Hello All,
It seems that ntpdate is acting weird for me. When I run it against
UUNET's NTP server (A Cisco Router that supports UDP/NTP) I get the
following message:
1039 # ntpdate Fddi0/0.GW2.DCA1.Alter.Net
ntpdate: no server suitable for synchronization found
Which makes me think I can't communicate with the server at the other
end, or it doesn work. However, ntptrace works fine, and ntpdate -d
shows lots of output while talking to the server. Has anyone seen
this before? Does anyone know if ntpdate -d and ntptrace use
different packet types than ntpdate? If so, it could be a firewall
problem. Any way config information and output of ntptrace and
ntpdate -d are below.
