It's in no way the equivalent of openSuSE 11.0 [or prev] ntpdate(1) and the solution given is not at all in the UNIX spirit. 1. the 'deprecated' message goes to stdout. that's an utterly strange behavior. if that were the only effect, it may have been forgiveable. 2. but it also has some code calling sntp.it makes the strange assumption you try to use ntpdate to sync against the host [arg2] and that the switch [arg1, whatever it may be] is simply ignored [shifted]. thanx Ori -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
