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.
Package Change Request ====================== Package Name: rdate Updated Fedora Owners: jmoskovc
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.
Fixed in rawhide.
