note that if the time diff is too large, xntpd wont be able to sync it. use 'ntpdate' to hard set it the first time, then start xntpd. (also use hwclock to save it to the BIOS). if you dont have a full-time inet connection, just use ntpdate in yuour connect scripts, it should keep you within one or 2 seconds of UTC. xntpd can keep you within several nanoseconds, but that precision is usually not needed. -- ======================================================================== Rocky McGaugh Atipa Linux Solutions Linux Systems Engineer www.atipa.com rocky@smluc.org rmcgaugh@atipa.com ======================================================================== -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
