Hello! that'd be me! Er...the jeckyll account is a dead account that I originally created when i didn't realise that wikispaces displayed "usernames" of users, rather than offering a display/real name.

Yep, it now does NTP, er, as of commit b7e51f64df3c9f0da81031c5a2a5bec079397897, on the 6th of March. > > shyde also changed: > http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/dongle.config > > rdate -s 192.168.1.42 > to > > export NTP=192.168.1.42 > > I don't think the export does anything useful there.

Nope...sounds sensible to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
