I should have also added that your time can also be set using ntpdate in a cron job, but using ntpdate is deprecated (not quite sure why) If using the daemon you should of course use drakxservices to make sure it is running, and ntptrace is useful to see where your clock is actually coming from. Do not be surprised if the time does not change when starting the ntp daemon. It will not even *start* to change the time until it has been running for 15 minutes, and then it will *slowly* pull the local time into sync with the remote. (That is why the step-tickers are used to set the time on first booting) derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
