If it weren't it wouldn't give that error but something like "can't find host pool.ntp.org" - obviously DNS works and it gets the IP but can't connect to the server. My bet is that either (1) port 123 is blocked on leo's end (overzealous ISP blocking all ports not explicitly requested open?) or (2) the server he gets won't talk to him (maybe because he's in Cuba and the server he happens to get is in USA and following the embargo too literally), or (3) his connection is simply so slow ntpdate gives up before getting the reply. Leo, try europe.pool.ntp.org instead, and if it fails, try again with 0.europe.pool.ntp.org, 1.europe.pool.ntp.org &c up to 3. -- Tapani Tarvainen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
