Ntp

[COLOR="Red"]Hello all


I've been trying to resolve the above issue on my Red hatLinux enterprise edition.

I have 3 linux machines, with one running the NTP daemon (/etc/init.d/ntpd).
The other 2 are just updating its time using ntpdate command. details are
written below:

192.168.30.30 (with ntpd)
192.168.29.30 (using ntpdate)
192.168.25.30 (using ntpdate)

the 29.30 and 25.30 machines are behind the same router that is connected to
30.30 on a separate router via serial (1T). all of them can ping each
other. no firewall is enabled on the network. in fact, when a router is
setup as ntp server, all of them can sync with its clock. i even tried
synching 29.30 and 25.30 to a public time server and it worked. i just
cannot figure out why it cannot synch with my 30.30.

30.30 has /etc/ntp.conf as follows:
------------------------------------
restrict default ignore
restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 notrust nomodify notrap
server 127.127.1.0 # local clock
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
broadcastdelay 0.008
authenticate yes
keys /etc/ntp/keys

29.30 and 25.30 has /etc/ntp.conf as follows:
----------------------------------------------
restrict default ignore
restrict 127.0.0.1
server 192.168.30.30
driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
broadcastdelay 0.008
authenticate yes
keys /etc/ntp/keys

when i run ntpdate from 29.30 and 25.30, server is not replying back. i see
the requests though using tcpdump on 30.30.
