You could also try openntpd. It seems to be lacking some features (ntpq doesn't work against it, for example) but it will connect to an ntp server and set your time. Of course with net-misc/ntp you get the ntpdate binary and startup script that are pure clients, to completely avoid running a daemon at all. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
