My friend's system shows that ntpdate works with the "-q" ption, but not
without:
_______________________________
E:\NTP\bin>ntpdate -q 81.171.44.131
server 81.171.44.131, stratum 2, offset 12.016615, delay 0.05682
4 Apr 08:49:58 ntpdate[3936]: step time server 81.171.44.131 offset
12.016615 sec
E:\NTP\bin>ntpdate 81.171.44.131
4 Apr 08:50:15 ntpdate[5108]: no server suitable for synchronization
found
_______________________________
What is the difference in the packets sent and received in the two command
formats (I appreciate that -q does not set the clock)?
Thanks,
David
