I am running UTM 9.103-5 in vmware vsphere 5. The UTM has drifted to 1 minute off of the assigned NTP pool servers (according to the "Test Configured Servers" button on the Time and Date page under System Settings). When I attempt to force a manual synchronization from the console using the ntpdate -v (ntp pool server) command I get several lines of messages that state "ntpdate[31587]: sendto(ntp server name or address) : Operation not permitted
When I see this on standard linux servers, it usually means a firewall is blocking NTP (UDP port 123), but I have it allowed for my network and it appears that the UTM CAN talk to my configured NTP pool servers because in the WebAdmin GUI it passes the test (as noted above) to report that it is 1 minute off.
Is there a different method to manually force an NTP update? I am stopping the ntp daemon before running the ntpdate command (by using /var/mdw/scripts/ntp stop).
