[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/doc/ntp-doc $ sudo apt-get install libc6 Password: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done libc6 is already the newest version. (yes, i did update first!) Is there some nice clear ntp doc somewhere so that I can go RTFM? I've just looked at ntp-doc and it's as clear as post-processed-Pal. The problems I've got are: 1: Breezy gives the wrong time 2: Macintoshes pointing at Apple time servers give the wrong time 3: Sarge set up as a local time server gives the wrong time It's an interesting case in point about reading fine manuals. I read the manual a while ago to set everything up for myself - it's worked fine until now, but the fundamentals are quite complex and frankly I don't have the time today to fix it. I COULD pay someone to do it, and perhaps I will, but it would also be nice to find some place that explains it well.
