Then either the servers you choose didn't allow you to get the time or you configured ntpd wrong. If the rc-script complains on stopping the ntp-daemon then ntpd is either not running or the script is borked. > Have also seen a lot of people recommending ntpdate over ntpd. Maybe > they had the same problem or it's just another urban myth. :) This is absolute nonsense. As other said in this thread (and I also did in the message you quoted), ntpdate should only be run on system boot time to initially set the correct time. It was never meant to keep the time continously up-to-date. Cheers, Juri -- Juri Haberland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
