On the advice of Linux guru Alex Ibrado, I downloaded xntpd3-5 and began using
it a few days ago. He showed me how to set it up so that it runs ntpdate and
setclock whenever I go online.
Question: since the script is in /etc/ppp/ip-up.local, do I have to be root to
get it to run whenever i log on?
Any other advice on clock syncing?
God bless!
