Actually, on bootup, as Bruce mentioned, ntpdate(1) is attempted, and this is the guy who takes the time. There are a number of workable solutions: 1. The one I proposed. A bit complex. 2. The one Bruce Proposed. Requires a simple crontab entry. 3. Tell ntp not to start ntpdate. This can be done in Yast/System/Sysconfig editor/Network/NTP/NTPD_INITIAL_NTPDATE. In this case, only the ntp daemon will run, and this will not delay startup at all, and won't cause any performance issues. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
