I see you found an rdate, but if you have ntp installed you could also use ntpdate to do the same thing. I've got the same old bios 1994 problem; you may want to play with your rc files to get it to do the rdate/ntp stuff before cron starts. That keeps cron from seeing the big time step and deciding to run a bunch of daily/weekly stuff that it doesn't need to. -bill On Fri, 8 Dec 2000, Paul Sack wrote: > I found one. > > (rdate.ksu.edu if anyone cares.) > > -- > Williams and Holland's Law: > If enough data is collected, anything may be proven by > statistical methods. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Send administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
