Can someone please recommend a simple and reasonably accurate way of setting the time of day from a remote server? I've d/loaded and even succeeded (I think!) in compiling xntpd - It has a ton of documentation, and is somewhat complex! I don't mind doing some reading, but my need is urgent, and my personal brain-power feels more like an 8086 than a P2..... Running "apropos date" was able to turn-up "netdate", which does appear to be installed on my system, and uses udp, which I'm told is not as accurate as sntp . I guess I really only need to be accurate to within one second - (sntp is supposed to offer accuracy as good as 50mS) but I'd like to get the best accuracy I can. In Windoze I use the free-ware Abouttime GUI client/server from www.arachnophilia.com - which is very simple uses sntp, and even has a list of Internet time-servers.
