rdate

After having ISPConfig up and running for a few months I started to get an error message from CRON telling me that rdate could not connect to the server listed in this howto.

/usr/bin/rdate -s 128.2.136.71 | logger -t NTP

rdate: couldn't connect to host 128.2.136.71: Connection refused

I simply went to NTP's website and found a server close to me and entered it in

/var/spool/cron/root under the rdate command. This seemed to fix the problem. Looks like the 128.2.136.71 server is shutdown or not accepting connections. Just an FYI.
