The "time" service is different from NTP, although both provide a somewhat similar function. Any Linux box comes with the tools to provide the time service, but you generally have to install and configure NTP server software (xntpd). If you want to serve time to the Mac via NTP, you'll have to setup the software n the server. It would be nice if there were a way to have the Mac use rdate since it's simple and good enough for your purposes. >So, I'm about ready to set up the ntp package, but I think that's >overkill.
