Don't you understand that NTP can not adjust my system clock and quits?
Yes I do.
I was explaining NTP it to Billie Walsh, who didn't seem to understand that NTP is a method of keeping accurate time.
Ok.
I believe that NTP has an option for updating the time in your CMOS clock.
Haven't seen it. Certainly, not in my config. The cmos clock is running fine; actually, I'm thinking of running a cron job to compare both cmos and system clocks and log it and sound a horn if they differ more than two seconds:
nimrodel:~ # hwclock --show ; date Fri Dec 7 02:26:57 2007 -0.036220 seconds Fri Dec 7 02:26:57 CET 2007

Could I make a suggestion that you try the following servers in your ntp configuration, you can use yast to do the configuration and test of the server: 0.pool.ntp.org 1.pool.ntp.org 2.pool.net.org I suggest those files because there is a protocol among the different strata time server. Many of them request that you inform them of your use. You can read more about the pool.ntp.org at http://www.pool.ntp.org/ -- Joseph Loo jloo@acm.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
