Answering my own question... big fat NO. |

[i660][root][~] openrdate -s -n ca.pool.ntp.org (works fine) |

[i660][root][~] openrdate -s ca.pool.ntp.org (hangs and sits there) |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
[i660][root][~] rdate -s ca.pool.ntp.org |
| 12 |
rdate: couldn't connect to host ca.pool.ntp.org: Connection refused |

Apparently "openrdate -n" selects RFC2030 protocol. Otherwise, it |
| 15 |
defaults to RFC868. That appears to be rdate's only protocol. So are |
| 16 |
there any public RFC868 servers? Or are there any RFC2030 client |
| 17 |
programs other than openrdate? What do people here use? |
