From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686; en-US; 0.8.1) Gecko/20010422 Description of problem: xntp3/ntp4 clients are not able to query the time from a RH71 system running 'ntpd'. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: On the server: 1. 'rpm -Uvh ntp-4.0.99k-15.i386.rpm' 2. Add appropriate 'server' lines in '/etc/ntp.conf', dependant on local network config 3. '/etc/rc.d/init.d/ntp start' 4. Wait for ntpd to synchronize time from its' servers From another client (tested: RH6.2 xntpd3, RH7.1 ntp4): 5. 'ntpdate <server></server>' (with <server></server> the IP address of the server on which steps 1-4 were performed) Actual Results: ntpdate responds with: 'no server suitable for synchronization found' Expected Results: Normally, the correct time should appear. Additional info: I tried this on 4 different machines, on my office network and my home network, all with the same result. If I download, compile and install ntp-4.0.99k23.tar.gz on the server, it works OK (using identical config files). Even though 'ntpdate <server></server>' fails, 'ntpq <server></server>' and 'ntpcd <server></server>' from the same client do work.
try the server with multicastclient disabled ... took me hours to find out :((
OK, that works for me too. I can live without multicastclient.
