no, i am quite aware.
i run ntpd on the server machine called albatross, 192.168.14.1, and
on any client (i.e. seamus, 192.168.14.3), ntpdate returns that there
are no synch servers available. i only want to use ntpdate precisely
once to sync to the server. maybe later i'll configure ntpd.

the other client (windoze, gerald, 192.168.14.28) runs the dimension 4
program and gets the invalid ntp packet response.

i know very well what ntpd and ntpdate are. neither can use
192.168.14.1 as the server even though it is running ntpd itself.

any more ideas?
