I think you are confusing the command line ntp with the always running and always correcting ntpd. You have to configure ntpd by adding server lines in /etc/ntp.conf but once you do that if your clock is close at boot time it will keep it in sync forever. But perhaps the bets solution is to find out why your clock runs that fast. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
