Bill> Bill> ntpdate -b REMOTE_MACHINE_NAME_GOES_HERE Jerome> without the -b , but with -d -v -B Okay. ntpdate with no REMOTE_MACHINE_NAME_GOES_HERE gives me no servers can be used, exiting I chose a machine in my building and get adjust time server 192.168.0.5 offset 0.000451 sec I chose a *MACHINE* outside my building (which I probably can't get to because of all our stoopid firewalls*)* and got no server suitable for synchronization found So I would guess this means that you cannot get to the machine you are ntpdate'ing against. You showed that it worked when you did it against ntp.apple.com. I assume that it also works when you debug it by hand? If so, I would guess that Joris' suggestion is a good one: Joris> on my machine, I haven't got ntpdate to work out the Joris> hostnames of any ntp server. I just pinged them, copied Joris> the ip's and dpkg-reconfigure'd ntp to look for the Joris> ip's. It has worked ever since. Meaning that ntpdate is using a hostname but *CANNOT* resolve the hostname into an IP...
