Tim, A. Install the xntp package. B. Go into /etc/rc.config and make the entry look like this: -- # # Start XNTPD? (yes/no) # START_XNTPD="yes" # # Usually it's a good idea to get the current time and date # from some other ntp server, before xntpd is started. # If we should do so, provide a space-separated list of # ntp servers to query. # XNTPD_INITIAL_NTPDATE="ntp.ucsd.edu ns.scruz.net" # -- C. Run 'ntpdate ntp.ucsd.edu' D. Start the daemon ... rcxntpd start E. Done Regards, * Timothy R. Butler (tbutler@uninetsolutions.com) [010430 20:58]: }=}Volker and Steven, }=} Thanks for the tip!
