It's no longer needed, as best as I can tell. 'ntpd -g' will accept any size initial correction and keep running. If you really want to set the time once and not run ntpd, look at 'sntp' or 'ntpd -q'. Also see: http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Dev/DeprecatingNtpdate > Nothing.

What is missing? We thought we caught all of the useful cases. I see no open bug reports, and we could also use: http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Dev/DeprecatingNtpdc as a means to discuss these, like the similar topic for DeprecatingNtpdate. -- Harlan Stenn <[email protected]> http://networktimefoundation.org - be a member! _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
