Description István Tóth 2006-05-05 21:49:20 UTC

Description of problem:

If I try to use an rfc868 time server in udp mode ( in this case the the time
server is the one bundled in xinetd in fc5, running on the same host),
rdate exits with error. Rdate works fine in tcp mode.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rdate-1.4-4.2.1

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable time-udp, stop iptables
2. rdate -u localhost
3.
  
Actual results:
rdate displays:
rdate: error in read: Invalid argument

Expected results:
rdate displays time


Additional info:

The problem is probably in the client, and not the server, because other devices
can successfully use the udp time service, and an ethereal dump shows a valid
packet sent back to client.

The same test works on a Centos4 server perfectly.

Comment 2 István Tóth 2007-07-10 07:58:04 UTC

I've retested with Fedora 7 x86_64, and the bug is fixed there.

I do not have access to an F7 i386 machine to test, unfortunately.

Comment 3 Jiri Moskovcak 2007-07-10 16:58:49 UTC

Fixed in rawhide.
