Living in a country where time is not (always) important I still sometimes want to know the exact time I live in. I have worked on the ntp.conf and have put three timeserver in the config file. After using ntptimeset I now know that my time is off by 1807.1719510 seconds. Nice to know but now what? I have read through the ntp document until I did not understood anything more and still do not know how to adjust my time automagically. Could somebody assist me?

You might try deleting /etc/adjtime if it is there. When you have ntp make big adjustments to your clock, it sets up that file as a 'drift' file and when it has a large time value in it, things go awry... Just delete the file. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

In 9.1, xntp can be configured by YaST (Network Services -> NTP Client). All you have to do is to "Add" the timeserver and click the "Finish" button. The xntp documentation is useful when you need a "special" configuration. -- A.M.

Hi. All I did in 9.1 was to put the address of the server in yast>network services>NTP client>NTP server. But maybe you are using a different version. Anyway FWIW my server is 130.149.17.21 and it keeps very good time. I think it's polite to send them a message too telling them that you are using them. HTH Steve.

Well I found this on that site.: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.html Notice the addition of the l in html. What I did was to go tot he URL and then delete the /server.htm from the URL address. A page popped up, and there was the link. :) Mike
You might have a server even closer. My isp provides local time servers (speakeasy.net). You might check to see if your isp does the same. Mike McMullin wrote:
