[LON-CAPA-admin] ntp

[H. K. Ng]

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your help. It turns out to be the firewall. The server which has 
the ntp running happens to have all the ports open. It all makes sense now.

I guess port 123 should be included together with 8080 and 5663. Any others?

Thanks again,
Hon-Kie
