Hi All,

     I am running Cent OS 4.1 (same as Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 4.1, only cheaper).

     How do I change ntpd's time server?  I have altered,
/etc/ntp.conf and /etc/ntp/ntpservers to use time.nist.gov.
I stopped and restarted ntpd several times.

     I can run "ntpdate -s time.nist.gov" manually
with no problems

     But, ntpd still gets caught in my firewall asking
for server from three other servers:

Sep 16 12:29:19 localhost kernel: ppp-in Everything Else IN=ppp0 OUT= 
MAC= SRC=194.88.5.36 DST=66.53.202.xxx LEN=76 TOS=0x10 PREC=0x00 TTL=51 
ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=123 DPT=123 LEN=56
Sep 16 12:29:19 localhost kernel: ppp-in Everything Else IN=ppp0 OUT= 
MAC= SRC=62.57.0.38 DST=66.53.202.xxx LEN=76 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=45 
ID=23255 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=123 DPT=123 LEN=56
Sep 16 12:29:19 localhost kernel: ppp-in Everything Else IN=ppp0 OUT= 
MAC= SRC=66.70.29.130 DST=66.53.202.xxx LEN=76 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=54 
ID=45723 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=123 DPT=123 LEN=56

    What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks,
--Tony
