AIUI, you do not want to run both anyway. xntpd keeps variation from correct time and system and tries to maintain correct time even when the signal is not available. ntpdate is like setting your watch manually while looking at the clock on the wall, then, when you think that the variation is too much, setting it again.
Thanks Patrick; that was the hint solving my problems:) Concerning the same topic I still would have a (for me) too advanced question: how to automatize that? I mean half-automatically, when I'm online through my dial-up (I use Kinternet to connect); or I ride our LAN, how to setup the script you corrected to run_once_ after the connection was made, or the net-cable was attached?! Thanks in advance, Pelibali
