Can you please post to the list and not to me directly? I don't know
everything, and when you post to the list you have a much greater chance of
having your question answered, since there are so many others to read your
message. Also, there may be others who may benefit from the discussion.
For example, I do not know anything about using timed, since I use ntpdate
(via cron jobs) to synchronise my computer with a NTP server. I'm posting
this message to the list so that others may be able to help you.
Is there anything out there who may know the answer?
