Right, but, as I said in my original question, ntpdate is a package unto itself. I don't know about the xntp package (according to my machines, it doesn't exist), but the ntp package recommends the ntpdate package. So if netdate is in one of the standard/base networking packages and netdate is identical to ntpdate, why does the ntpdate package exist? -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+:+ a- C+++ UL++>$ P+>+++ L++>++++ E- W+(--) N+ o+ !K w--- O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI++++ D G e* h+ r++ y+
