Hi, I want a simple task performed. ntp does it, but is not really made for a dial-up system like mine.
chrony does it also, but what I wondered is: couldn't It use netdate for this? I have put the following script in my /etc/ip-up.d #!/bin/sh if [ -x /usr/sbin/netdate ] then /usr/sbin/netdate 165.91.52.110 > /dev/null 2>&1 fi exit 0 165.91.52.110 is a time server. In /etc/cron.daily I have this script: #! /bin/sh if [ -x /sbin/hwclock ] then hwclock --adjust hwclock --systohc --utc fi exit 0 This last script is there since I do not often reboot, and still want the hardware clock adjusted. These two scripts seems to keep my clock correct without having to install ntp or chrony, or have I as a newbie missed something here? I would really like to know the difference between netdate and ntp/chrony. And if you choose a time server to use with netdate, shouldn't it be just as accurate as if you used ntp? ----------------------------------- Regards, Christian Dysthe Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bigfoot.com/~cdysthe ICQ 3945810 Date: 12-May-99 Time: 12:25:58 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux ----------------------------------- "Things are more like they used to be than they are now."
