Thanks Brian for your input on this matter. Sure need something right now and your input surely looks helpful.

Now - what I have in place right now shows some improvement but I wonder if it is right yet. Here is what ntpq -p gives me:
--------------

-------------------------

How does this look?  I think it actually is working now?? Anyone, please
let me know.

And Brian... I will try the list of servers that you provided. Thanks very much for that input..

Hi, Ted:

Well I finally am moving away from netdate and have ntpd installed and
running.
I brought it up using ntpd -g,  and hope that is ok.

Also I have no idea that it is doing anthing?   How do I know that it is
running.
The drift file has only one entry in it, and that is all zeros..

Is there some way that I can watch what is happening like the way I watch
log files using 'tail -f messages'  ??

I have all the logfile stuff turned on so I can read any and all stuff that
is happening and  yet while that says a few things I at this point don't
know that it is doing anything with the system time.

I am running linux (slackware 10.2)..

Maybe you can try it with "ntpq -p" which shows you all configured time
references (the "server" or "peer" lines in /etc/ntp.conf). If you want,
you can run it periodically : "watch -n 1 ntpq -p"

OK on the 'watch' line. Here is what that gives me"
