I've never suggested (or mentioned) the timed. Of course I was talking about the "-n" mode of rdate (as a replacement to ntpdate like Paul de Weerd was suggesting in this thread). May be it makes sense to set "-ncv" as a default behavior of rdate, but there is should be a way to synchronize time without running a demon (don't understand why are people so aggressive about that) if you don't need up-to-second synchronization (in my case modern hardware goes less than a second off per day, and really old hardware - less than 10 seconds). -- Best regards, Boris mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
