Hello,
The error I was getting was:
30 Aug 13:40:54 ntpdate[487]: the NTP socket is in use, exiting
Also I was getting a error stating that the server could not be found when
specifying time.apple.com or our local time server here on campus. All my
computers are running 10.3.9 with the latest updates.
Thanks
Marc
