It happened to me when I first set up ntpdate a couple weeks ago. I *guessed* (caveat emptor) that the current system time was too far off for ntpdate to consider any of the received values plausible. So I used the ntpdate argument to just show results, not set the clock, then used date to set the clock more or less to the minute. After that, ntpdate worked (and is now adjusting time upon PPP dial-up but no more than once an hour). T. -- Tony Crawford -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- +49-3341-30 99 99
