I played with things a bit more, and it seems that tcp_wrappers is the problem.
Unless, I add an "ALL:ALL " line in hosts.allow, I am not able to run ntpdate
As indicated above. Even adding "ALL:NTP Server IP " does not help (where "NTP
Server IP " is the host I 'm trying to run ntpdate against).
I 'm confused... Tcp_wrappers is for TCP connections, and should affect only
Incoming connections, but tcp_w is even causing problems for outgoing packets.
I don 't see any DNS traffic at the time that ntpdate is run, in case this is
a resolution problem. I 've added the host I 'm trying to run ntpdate against
in my /etc/hosts, since I 've got a multi-home hosts that uses public DNS servers
yet, my NTP source is inside a/my private network.
Any ideas what tcp_w is doing wrong here?
