4440.0. "SNTP/NTP through firewall questions" by GUIDUK::MCCANTA () Sun Feb 02 1997 19:30

    
    I have a customer that has a firewall and doesn't know much about it. 
    Hence, they are afraid to touch it.  A question arises from one of
    their users (who is one of the bosses).  Currently, they have the port
    that SNTP and NNTP (123?) use blocked.  This user wants to use a time
    sync program (dimension 4).  The firewall stops him.  What are the
    implications if he open the firewall port?

    Best is to ask this question in the Firewall conference : NOTED::SEAL
    
    I think ther won't be a major problem in opening port 123 through the 
    firewall, but you might get a better response in the other conference.
