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.

Yes. I've used rdate for quite a long time, but we've moved to NTP. Much better in accuracy... I suggest you consider NTP...

What is in your /etc/inetd.conf? Make sure it is responding to UDP requests as well as TCP ones:
time stream tcp nowait root internal time dgram udp wait root internal
(this is from a FreeBSD box, so it may differ from the Linux inetd.conf)

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.
