rdate hangs

["Tom Bentley" <tbentley accenttravel com>]

Rdate hangs on 5 out of 13 servers in my wide-area network.  2 of those that
fail are RH 6.0,  3 are are RH6.1, and one is RH5.2.  The server they're
requesting the time from is running RH5.2, but they fail requesting from
RH6.1 server, too.

All these machines can ping and tracert to the time server, and have that
machine's address in /etc/hosts, as well as themselves being addressed in
the time server's /etc/hosts.

Anyone have any idea why this would be?  Appreciate any thoughts.
