Simplest is, as root, to make a little script: #!/bin/sh ntpdate ntp.mel.nml.csiro.au which you put in /sbin/ntp-set, make it executable, call it from the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local, and also make a desktop icon to call it. You need to use an ntp server close to you - search www.google.com for 'ntp' and you will find them all. You can also set up an ntp daemon which periodically checks, but that is overkill for most of us. No ntp server is up 24 x 7 x 52 so a daemon may hang your machine. -- Regards, Ron. [AU]
