In /usr/sbin there is probably the program netdate. I don't think it is a full NTP utility, but it's good for getting periodic syncs with a time base. The only public time base I know of is tock.unso.navy.mil. It is the time server at the US Naval Observatory's Directorate of Time. It should be fairly accurate. If you put "/usr/sbin/netdate tock.usno.navy.mil" in a daily cron file, or in your network startup scripts (whichever makes the most sense), then you should have a controllable amount of drift. > > Thanks in advance for any help, > > -- > Dirk Eddelb"uttel http://qed.econ.queensu.ca/~edd > > -- Buddha Buck 85.5 Albany Street Cazenovia, NY 13035-1216 This Space For Rent [EMAIL PROTECTED]
