Not sure where you are, but first thing to do is find an NTP site, preferbly primary that allows public access, you can usually find these via google. To set it up so that this queries during bootup, find the line in /etc/rc.config that relates to xntp, this example here shows my config: # # 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-cup.external.hp.com montpelier.ilan.caltech.edu" I have two setup for reduncy. If you just want to update once in awhile I suggest this line: ntpdate ntp-cup.external.hp.com Hope that helps, Matt
