I was about to post about this, because I noticed that when I look at that machine: root 58232 0.0 0.0 2446576 1664 ?? Ss 3:17PM 0:00.13 /usr/sbin/ntpd -c /private/etc/ntp-restrict.conf -n -g -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -f /var/db/ntp.drift Well, ntpd started when I launched the Date & Time prefs. something like this should work in root's crontab: 17 3 * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate -u time.apple.com -- Secret to a happy relationship: when you're wrong, admit it. When you're right, shut up. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
