rdate timeout failure

[Rainer Fleischhacker]

Hello all,
since 3.1.6 I have a problem with setting the rdate command.
At the installing process FAI ist taking a long "thinkingtime".

I'm using FAI 3.1.8 (etch).

fai.log:
FAI_FLAGS: verbose sshd createvt reboot
rdate: connect: Connection timed out
Press ctrl-c to interrupt FAI and to get a shell
Calling task_defclass

I've configured the variables TIMESRVS_1 and NTPSRVS_1 and NTPSRVS in
config space FAIBASE.var but no changing. When I turned the command off:

216     # this may be moved to an external script
217     if [ $do_init_tasks -eq 1 ] ; then
218         # set the system time and date using rdate or/and ntpdate
219         #[ "$TIMESRVS_1" ] && rdate $TIMESRVS_1
220         [ "$NTPSRVS_1" ]  && ntpdate -b $NTPSRVS
221         [ "$flag_createvt" ] && {
222 »·······    # create two virtual terminals; acces via alt-F2 and alt-F3
223 »·······    echo "Press ctrl-c to interrupt FAI and to get a shell"
224 »·······    openvt -c2 /bin/bash ; openvt -c3 /bin/bash
225 »·······    trap 'echo "You can reboot with faireboot";bash' INT QUIT
226         }

is there the same problem: rdate: connect: Connection timed out

Can anybody help me?

Greetings Rainer
