It sure did, but still seems I am stuck. I have extracted the Stratum-2
servers from this site and run a test against them, no luck still. The
error msg I get is the same:


root@ /home/wash]
 2# cat FILE2 
ntp1.icomtek.csir.co.za
tock.nml.csir.co.za
ntp.is.co.za
igubu.saix.net
ntp1.webonline.co.za
ntp-ndf.mweb.co.za
ntp-nld.mweb.co.za

1# for server in `cat FILE2`; do ntpdate $server; done

Is there something that I could be ignoring (since this is my 1st go at
setting up a Time Server) that is blatantly obvious? For one I know (connectionwsie)
that SA may not be the closest to me, but surely their Time Servers should
serve me well ;)

I am still at a loss as to why I get the message.
