emerge rdate
rdate -s time.nist.gov
(Simply accomplishes the same thing... but is also available)...
One thing I also find useful (being that my primary linux machine is a laptop) is to have an init script do the same thing upon bootup...

Don't know about OO, but here's how I manage my clock... emerge net-misc/ntp to get the ntp programs. Then, run a cron job to sync your clock. I use the command:ntpdate -b time.nrc.ca to sync my clock to the National Research Council's atomic(?) clock. I do this once or twice a day (probably overkill), and my system clock never gets more than a second off.

I think it's taking the time from the hardware clock (or not, i can't remember which one it should use) or UTC (correct me if im mistaken)How do i solve this? second i've downloaded and installed OpenOffice without problems using emerge but i cant find the way to start de program. While I was on Debian i habitually installed it from source code or GUI isntaller telling me where the binaries were...now cant find them thank you all for your time M.B -- ______________________________________________ http://www.linuxmail.org/ Now with e-mail forwarding for only US$5.95/yr Powered by Outblaze -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
