I seem to have solved the problem, and the solution may be of interest to
the list. It seems that somewhere along the line inetd became empowered
with an internal time service capability.
Anyway, remove any lines you have in your inetd.conf that start with
"time" and try to run in.timed. Instead, add the following two lines:
time stream tcp nowait root internal
time dgram udp wait root internal
I'd like to suggest to whomever maintains the NetKit package (and to the
redhat folks who do patches to the Netkit) that these two lines be added
to the standard inetd.conf.
At any rate, my router now picks up its timestamp from my server, which
was the desired result. Hope the above helps others.
