Syncing time question
Ya, I know. It's been asked a zillion times. I've even asked it a couple. But.... My machine at work gets off time after a week or so. I can't remember the command to make it check time on a weekly basis AND where to put it (in the computer I mean). I have 2 other computers that I've done this to, but I can't remember how? Man am I getting old! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems, Inc. 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

Tried that. It doesn't make any sense to me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems, Inc. 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

If you add a time server to /etc/ntp.conf eg. server 192.168.0.99 Restart your ntp server rcxntpd restart Make sure the xntpd is starting when you start your machine: Yast2->System->Runlevel editor HTH, Jon -- SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586) Linux 2.4.20-4GB-athlon

Then you need to go back and re-read it till it does make sense because that is how unix machines keep clocks synced world wide. Do some web searches for those items. That IS the way its done, and like everything else in linux it is there for you but you have to make the effort. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Go onto YaST-->Install and Remove programs and install the ntp package. This package can be setup to set up the time with every boot and keep the time correct while the machine is running. Ken
