I would rather suggest ntpd. ntpdate ajust the clock once, ntpd adjust continuously. So if you have a permanent connexion, ntpd is better. >Actually a dual-booting system is >quite interesting as OSX set the H/W clock to a US time-zone (PST I >think) while linux uses UT so on switching system without a network >connection you get a wildly wrong clock. As I only use OSX for internal modem and DVDs, I set the timezone in osx to Vancouver (whereas I'm in France). By this way osx does not reset my clock... > >James > -- Cedric "[Of course] I'm French!
