using SUSE10, when I went into yast to enable the ntp client, I am warned about setting it to execute "on boot". The warning says: "Warning! If you do not have a permanent internet connection, starting the NTP daemon can take a very long time, and the daemon might not run properly" Huh? So, if I have a laptop, that does not at all times have an inet connection, basically I should not use the NTP client? Is there any good way to, once an inet connection IS established, sync time to an NTP server? Yast seems to only give "never" and "on boot" as ntp sync options. If there is a command I can execute from a shell, that would be fine.
