For machines/set of machines which are online most of the time, a combination of ntpdate and ntpd is found very useful. rdate does the job but compensation for drift is handled better by ntpdate and ntp. The use of ntpdate is optional if you're running the ntp package, it can help a system obtain lock if it starts with a time that's pretty close by using ntpdate before starting the daemon. This is good reason indeed to have both; the init scripts run ntpdate first, obtain lock and then runs ntp which tracks and compensates drift. -- ragOO, VU2RGU<->http://gnuhead.dyndns.org/<->GPG: 1024D/F1624A6E Helping to keep the Air-Waves FREE Amateur Radio Helping to keep your Software FREE the GNU Project Helping to keep the W W W FREE Debian GNU/${kernel} _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
