Thanx, Ken.  I found the answer on Google, which I should have looked at 
first.  However, the site www.cpqlinux.com/ntp.html gives a procedure for
accessing NTP time servers, which, when I try to follow the directions,
produces "permission denied".  I am in su /root.  Any assistance, please?

Thanx.
