Well I finally am moving away from netdate and have ntpd installed and
running.
I brought it up using ntpd -g, and hope that is ok.
Also I have no idea that it is doing anthing? How do I know that it is
running.
The drift file has only one entry in it, and that is all zeros..
Is there some way that I can watch what is happening like the way I
watch
log files using 'tail -f messages' ??
I have all the logfile stuff turned on so I can read any and all
stuff that
is happening and yet while that says a few things I at this point don't
know that it is doing anything with the system time.
I am running linux (slackware 10.2)..
Maybe you can try it with "ntpq -p" which shows you all configured time
references (the "server" or "peer" lines in /etc/ntp.conf). If you want,
you can run it periodically : "watch -n 1 ntpq -p"
OK on the 'watch' line. Here is what that gives me"

The .RSTR. in the refid field suggests that you are having a problem
with restrict statements. Your selection of servers is also a little
strange. time-b.nist.gov appears twice; it probably should not appear
at all. The stratum 1 servers should not be used unless your system
will be serving time to at least 100 other systems! The stratum 1
servers are usually loaded or overloaded to within a hair of the
breaking point! See: http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome for a
list of publicly available stratum 2 servers. Please also read the
"rules of engagement"
