According my reply to Colin, ntpd -g does the same job than ntpdate. The option -g is now used by default in /etc/sysconfig/ntpd Perhaps a script "ntpdate" executing `ntpd -g` could be useful? I have also a question about ntp-wait : I have read its code (perl) but I don't understand what is its use. -- Pierre Jarillon - http://pjarillon.free.fr/ Vice-président de l'ABUL : http://abul.org Microsoft is for computers what McDonald is for French gastronomy
