What app in KDE to autosync my system clock with NIST?
In Windows, I used to obsessively keep my system clock synchronised with the NIST servers. I would like to know what app is available for the same in KDE, or if not inbuilt into KDE, then for Linux. The source code of the tiny app I was using in Windows is at: ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/daytime/ Can anyone please take a look at this and tell me whether this is compilable under Linux and if yes, then how do I do it? (I lack the expertise to determine this for myself.) Thanks, all!

xntp does the job. Don't know why you are looking for a KDE app, KDE is itself just an app running on the OS, xntp syncs the clock independent of whatever window manager you are running.

Just to make it really clear. You can use Yast to setup xntp. Yast->Network Services->NTP Client Just enter the same URL that you use in Windows. I use pool.ntp.org. Alvin
