I was just curious, is there an app included in SuSE that I could use (with the help of Cron) to sync my time with the atmoic clock every few hours?
Package xntp. No need for cron. Volker
Volker and Steven, Thanks for the tip! Can either of you advice me on how to configure xntp to sync the time on a regular basis? I can't seem to find any useful tips on configuration.

Tim, A. Install the xntp package. B. Go into /etc/rc.config and make the entry look like this: -- # # Start XNTPD? (yes/no) # START_XNTPD="yes" # # Usually it's a good idea to get the current time and date # from some other ntp server, before xntpd is started. # If we should do so, provide a space-separated list of # ntp servers to query. # XNTPD_INITIAL_NTPDATE="ntp.ucsd.edu ns.scruz.net" # -- C. Run 'ntpdate ntp.ucsd.edu' D. Start the daemon ... rcxntpd start E. Done Regards, * Timothy R. Butler (tbutler@uninetsolutions.com) [010430 20:58]: }=}Volker and Steven, }=} Thanks for the tip!

Please try to find an ntp server close to you.

Hi Everyone, Thanks to all of you who contributed suggestions to my question. I'm going to try Ben's suggested modifications to the config file, and then I'll be back. One more question for you guys: Is there a directory of time servers so that I can find one near me (St. Louis, MO, USA)? Thanks much, Tim -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R. Butler Universal Networks Information Tech.
