Right! That's the very message which caused me to switch!
Stroller.
so use the ntp-client to set the time at boot and use ntp to keep
clock
synced.
As I said in my post of 4 February 2009 18:20:50 GMT I will do so.
But I had not initially assumed that "maintaining" the time excluded
the criteria used by ntp-client when setting at boot.
