We setup NTP at MTSU on our little cluster. My most memorable note was that if the clocks were more than 10 minutes off then it bails out. You have to use another command (name escapes me) to bring them up to date (ntpupdate?) and then ntpd maintains the clocks.
This was somewhat painful b/c our first tests were, change the clocks by an hour and see if this puppy works... :) --tjn _________________________________________________________________________ Thomas Naughton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Research Associate (865) 574-3932 On Tue, 9 Oct 2001, Michael J.
