I try to install and configure xntpd, in order to sync my computer with time servers around the world.
The documentation is too big,I just like to set my home has a client.I do have a permanent internet connection trough cybercable, and my workstation is almost allways working ( SETI) Can anybody help to set up such a product under Linux.
I had the pleasure of setting up xntpd once, and the advice I can give is not to bother unless you really, really want to! xntpd is dazzlingly complicated. In it's extraordinary efforts to keep the time syncronisation absolutely spot on, it tries to take into account things like the time taken for the signal to propogate down the ethernet wires (at n% of the speed of light) and all sorts of other parameters. Hence the masses of documentation. You'd never believe that keeping in time sync with another machine could be so complicated! So, I suggest you try something simpler, maybe like timed, if that will do the job. If you demand more accuracy, set aside a weekend or three... (My experience was a couple of years ago so things might have improved a bit by now. But I doubt it....)
