I added the following command to my root crontab (type: crontab -e): 1 0 * * * /usr/sbin/rdate ntp2.usno.navy.mil >> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1
This updates the local clock once a day which is more than is probably needed ... Take out the ">> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1" and root will get a mail message when the task executes. If you don't want this daily verification put this back in. -paul -----Original Message----- From: Shaul Karl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 28, 1999 5:49 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Utilities for keeping time sync for a machine behind a firewall ?
