NTP client service doesn't explicitly change the system time in one shot. This could cause all kinds of problems. Instead they slow down or speed up the system clock over a set period until it matches the correct time from a NTP server. Thus no other services with have weird (out of sync) timestamps. At least, this is how Linux's NTPD client service works. eg: http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
