I use ntpdate in system install scripts (such as RHEL/Fedora kickstart configs) to make sure a new system's clock is set correctly (or at least close to correctly). There's no drift file or config, and waiting for a daemon to step the clock is not desired in an install script. -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
