Note that this *is* going to be fairly expensive if you use a laptop on battery; you can try to get a better read on your system's clock drift (instead of that established on shiny new hardware, which may change significantly with a couple weeks of use) and use the Apple approved stuff: sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.pacemaker.plist sudo rm /etc/ntp.drift sudo launchctl stop org.ntp.ntpd # wait an hour or so for ntpd to establish the current drift sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.pacemaker.plist -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
