However, you do not specify any rules for eth1 to allow that ntp server to synchronise with the remote servers it is using. So unless you are using a local time source that might be your problem. Btw, when specifying rules for the external ntp servers you might want to specify IPs as well to restrict access. Regards, Leonard. -- mount -t life -o ro /dev/dna /genetic/research
