Hi Liviu, |

it seems you're only allowed to access web, FTP and rsync services on |
4 |
the Internet through your proxy. Both rsync and NTP use their own ports |
5 |
and protocols, different from HTTP/FTP/rsync. Firstly, you need a proxy |
6 |
server (or some other form of tunnel) that will allow for rdate/NTP |
7 |
traffic between your computer and Internet. |
8 |
|
9 |
Secondly, you have to configure rdate/NTP to make use of the proxy, but |
10 |
AFAIK there's nothing like ntp_proxy or rdate_proxy env. variables |
11 |
these programs would honor. Instead, timeserver proxies are more common |
12 |
in the form of a local timeserver which sync's with an external |
13 |
timesource and offers its services to the local network via standard |
14 |
protocols. You would then sync time using this proxy directly, e.g. |
15 |
"rdate -s timeproxy.localaddress.dom". Try asking around if there's such |
16 |
a service available in your local network. |
