David, I think it's important to have the correct date. My ISP NOC wont accept abuse reports without valid time stamps in syslog. I use rdate on my current floppy to set the time on boot. rdate connects a server on my lan, and my server connects to a timeserver on the Internet with xntpd. I use this setup for two reasons. One, I feel it's more secure than having the router/firewall accessing a time server on the Internet. Two, rdate connections are refused by most timeservers on the Internet. -- Mike Noyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf.sourceforge.net/content.php?menu=1000&page_id=4 _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
