Hello
Try xntp. What I do is merely use ntpdate, as follows.
I've read the docs and not understood them. How do I set up xntp for a dialup box with SuSE 6.2 ?
Thanks

I can understand your problem. I very briefly skimmed the docs and determined
that I didn't need all that "junk". I didn't want to become part of the Time
Servers, or even maintain time to the precise nano-second (over-exaggeration),
just simply keep my machine on time.
So I saw the ntpdate HTML file and skimmed it, and began experimentation (OK,
you might call it a guess to just use ntpdate at first). Oh yes, and I also
had to follow a link from one of HTML docs to find myself a workable Time
Server to access.
My machine is just a dialup box, that is I dial in for my Internet access.
However, if your machine is an actual Internet dial-up server, you can probably
use the same basic steps, perhaps on a daily cron, or hourly cron, or whatever
you need.
