Re: strange client behavior

Hello,

Here's a strange one for you all:

I have two clients with identical ntp.conf files:

restrict default nomodify notrap noquery
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift
broadcastdelay 0.008
server ntp.clarku.edu
restrict ntp.clarku.edu mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap noquery

One of them, a Fedora Core 5 box running ntp-4.2.0.a.20050816-11, works
fine.
The other, a RHEL 4 AS box running ntp-4.2.0.a.20040617-4, seems to work
in that the clocks match, tcpdump shows udp traffic from the client to the
server on port 123, etc... _BUT_ ntpq -n -p fails after a few seconds with
this error:

[root@erebus ~]# ntpq -n -p
localhost.localdomain: timed out, nothing received
***Request timed out
[root@erebus ~]#
Any ideas? _______________________________________________

Hi,

I've just had a very similar problem on my Centos 4.3 system, which uses
RHAS 4 source files.
It turned out to be a bug in the that 4.2.0a 2004 package.

I've rebuilt mine from the latest development sources, but you may be able
to use the RPM for Fedora 5, it looks to be a year newer.
