I don't think 8.2 had an NTP client module in Yast. I seem to remember having to set up NTP manually in /etc/ntp.conf. You do set it to run in runlevel editor. I cant' advise you how to adjust the firewall afterward though.
I gave away my 8.2 Pro boxed set and didn't think to save the documentation pdfs :-/
A quick romp thru my 8.2 boxed set manuals reveals nothing about a yast module for ntp.
However, the package is SO WELL DOCUMENTED both in the distro (man ntpd and /usr/share/doc/packages/xntp/WHERE-TO-START) as well as on the web, and SO EASY to set up (two or three line change in /etc/ntp/ntp.conf) that one really has no reason to dread or put off running this software.
I'm surprised the Admin Guide doesn't document the ntp client configuration, but you're correct... it's an easy enough problem for the OP to solve. It does kind of make one nostalgic to remember leafing through those heavy books. ;-) Carl
