I've removed pool.ntp.org from the ntpservers file for now (1.7.9-1) as s-c-date really doesn't handle multi-homed machines well. Don't you think that handling multi-homed servers should really be a longer range goal and that closing this report will make the issue "lost" in the future? One possibilty of handling firewall issues would be to open a port 123, check which connections are really in use (proably with ntpq), and tighten up rules to what is really required by the current ntp configuration. There could be a MULTIHOMED flag which informs startup if such treatment is needed. s-c-date does need to be "smarter" for that (and AFAICS clock.redhat.com is multi-homed as well :-). I fixed the immediate problem with a short-term workaround. I've already opened bug #133925 for enhancing s-c-date accordingly some time in the future. |
