nah, you should use ntpdate instead of netdate:
"netdate" will set ANY time it receives and "ntpdate" will validate the time and moves the clock slowly to the right time
No, ntpdate gets the time from a time server and sets the clock to the time it just received from the server, no matter how much the difference is.
Well, but ntpdate uses NTP protocol, multiple UDP packets, travel-around-timing calculations and so on, in contrast to netdate, which happily sets (time_t)-1, a common error code, as clock. oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
