Re: how do you set your system clock from a remote time server?
Rdate is it's own package (in main/net)--a consequence of the Great Netstd Shakeup. I'm kind of guessing you need to look into hwclock (in main/base/util-linux) as a replacement for clock (I've never really dealt with RH's clock, so I'm feeling around in the dark on this one). Having said this, you might want to consider jumping protocols to the newer NTP and install ntpdate: it's relatively automagic and I've heard rumors that the atomic clocks are deprecating rdate.

Hi, I used a freeware program for windows a long time ago that set my bios clock to the time served from a local atomic clock, but I don't remember where I got it from. It may have been download.com or something and it wouldn't be of use to you anyways being that it's for windows, but maybe the guy that did the windows version also did the Linux version?

Searching for ``xntp'' should give you many references. It is also avalable as a Debian package on the latest CD.

If all you want to do is sych your local clock to that of your ISP once or twice a day, have a look at ``netdate'' which should be part of the base system. Ask your admin/ISP for the name or IP addr of a system you can get the time from (It does not have to run a special server for netdate). man netdate This will align your clock with the ISP's system: netdate -l 30 udp host.yourdomain.za} Cheers -- Manfred --- The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Daniel, Long time ago when I was new to Linux I had a nice program that updated my system clock with time from somewhere on the net. Now I need that program again and have a hard time finding it using search engines and searching the infinite sunsite. Anybody knows what I am talking about and where I can find it? Put this in your /etc/cron.daily/set_date #!/bin/sh rdate -s clock.psu.edu /dev/null And your clock will be set every day. :-) Salutacions, Pere __oUltima Ratio Regum 2:343/108.91 - _`\;_mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key available --- (_)/ (_) http://casal.upc.es/~pere/ -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
