    Hello,

    Maybe should you check if your NTP server can be upgraded to a new one.
    There might be a flaw in the implementation of the protocol that might
    prevent the Filer to correctly understand the time sync message or on the
    other hand, a flaw that might prevent NTP server to correctly understand
    the request from the Filer.

    I must say that I'm very surprised that a Linux NTP does not work
    correctly with a Filer...
    Indeed, we rely on a NTP server on Windows NT 4.0 which is W32Time from
    Microsoft, a very simple product, and I haven't got any problem
    synchronizing our Filers with it. Since MS is well known for their
    "particular" implentation of public protocols, I would not be surprised to
    have problems with it, which it's not the case!

    Kind regards,

    i personnally also tried to sync a netapp on a linux box
    it didn't work either
    i think netapp don't want to support linux ntp service
    why ?...
