I ran the following: ntpdate -v -d dewey.lib.ci.phoenix.az.us ntp.drydog.com and it looked for and found both hosts but then just sits there with no other output. -- Steve -----Original Message----- From: Eric Cope Sent: Aug 25, 2009 3:10 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Re: correct way to set timezone & clock/date? You can force an update, instead of waiting on the incremental changes. But, as noted below, it may affect services. Eric On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 11:42 AM, Jon M.
