You misunderstand - rdate (and ntpdate) are only useful in the booting up process. Once ntpdate has run, then xntpd should be run right after. In fact, this is standard operation: first run ntpdate, then run xntpd. The reason is that if your system is far enough off, xntpd will not adjust the clock. ntpdate, however, just like rdate, will set the clock immediately no matter what the current time the system thinks it is. > I'm more concerned if future kernels and the move to glibc 2.1.3 will still > allow a _valuable_ floppy distro. So far, it appears so. Oxygen (development) is already using glibc 2.1.3 on a floppy, and someone has converted Oxygen to use 2.4. However, this may not always be the case... _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
