[hobbit] NTP

[Kevin]

Thanks for the feedback Rob. I tried what you said and it doesn't 
matter. This is being run from the main Hobbit server. The problem seems 
to be with iptables on the client. When I shut off iptables on the 
client it works just fine so the query from the hobbit server to the 
client is being blocked. This is what the server says:

server 10.164.138.60, stratum 0, offset 0.000000, delay 0.00000
12 Nov 11:31:32 ntpdate[26628]: no server suitable for synchronization found


It looks like it is trying to use port 26628.


Got any ideas how I specify the port to use (and exactly where that is 
specified in Hobbit) so I can allow for it in the client iptables config?


Thanks

kevin
