issues with clock synching

[ratman]

Hello,
I am having some trouble with ntpd. I installed it but after I did so it still does not want to link time servers. I'm pretty sure I have to fw port 123 to the UNIX machines behind our routers but is tha all I have to do or am I missing something?

try: ntpdate time.fu-berlin.de (maybe there's a better server for your location)
add a crontab entry for every hour, every day, every 10 minutes, whatever you want. this will set your clock correctly.
you actually don't need to install a timeserver?
