How can I set my linux box up to be a time server for another machine? I
have seen several how-to's on setting the time, but I have yet to run
across anything that tells me how to set the linux box up to send out
time hacks when requested.
The reason I am trying to do this is, I have a Mac IIci running
NetBSD/mac68k. Since Apple gave clock interrupts a pretty low priority
(or so it has been explained to me), my NetBSD system loses time pretty
steadily. This can be aggravated by a high system load, by a kernel
compile for example. I would like to set up the NetBSD box to query the
linux box for the time every ten or fifteen minutes or so. The linux box
seems to keep pretty good time (it is in any case better than the NetBSD
box), and I don't need any great level of accuracy. I just want to
eliminate the annoyance of the NetBSD box being twenty minutes or more
behind after being up a few days.
TIA,
Sean
