* Priebe, Jason (priebe@wral-tv.com) done spit this rhetoric:
Anybody else had trouble getting rdate to work properly on a filer? I'm trying to get rdate on my F720 to contact a Linux server to get the time, and it comes back with the message
"rdate: no response from <myhostnamehere>"
The Linux box is definitely listening for connections on port 37, and it seems to be responding fine when other boxes make requests to it. I'm pretty sure it's not related to the F720's network configuration. I wish I could test it against other time servers, but it lives on a private network.
This is because the filer will only make UDP rdate requests, and AFAIK, no linux rdate supports those. It works from other hosts because those clients use TCP.
