I don't run it at boot, but I do run it on a schedule. on production boxes, I go once an hour. everything else can go once a day or 12 hours or whenever you want really. I do this by adding the command to invoke ntpdate to root's crontab. run the command "sudo crontab -e" add the line: 0 * * * * ntpdate -bu pool.ntp.org #this will run it once an hour, on the hour or: 0 0 * * * ntpdate -bu pool.ntp.org #this will run it every day at midnight -wes _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
