Nope. No good. I also tried time.nrc.ca (as Lennart suggested) with the same 
error: no server suitable for synchronization found. 

here's what I ran:

ntpdate tick.utoronto.ca
ntpdate tock.utoronto.ca
ntpdate time.nrc.ca

I'm pretty sure its a configuration issue at my end, but I don't have a clue 
as to where I should look.

I'm running SuSe 8.2, in case that matters or helps.

thanks
