that is bad advice. it is not only much more work to set up, it also doesn't remotely yield the same results. ntpd is much much better, since it doesn't rely on a single answer from soem server to set the clock, and because it adjusts the clock frequency over time. there is not much point in using rdate at all. -- Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg & Amsterdam
