Connecting to time server
Hi there,

My unix box is behind a firewall and I have no access to the firewall, it is currently having time problems so I want to point it at a time server outside of the firewall to keep it's time accurate.

Can anyone think of a way to test connectivity to the time server over port 123 for NTP. I've tried telnet <timeserver> 123 although not understanding NTP I'm not sure of a way to check.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers,
H.
