I am having some issues getting clients to sync with an ntp server. 
>From what I can tell the client is communicating with the server but for
some reason the client doesn't like what is coming back from the
server.  The ntp server use to work on RH 7.1 and was moved to a box
running RH 7.2.  I have even started the daemon on the old 7.1 box and
ran into the same thing.  I can update from an external time server on
the Internet but not on from an ntp server on the LAN.  Included is the
output from both ntpdate and ntpd run on a client machine.  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
