Hi,
I use NTP with no problems..
Once a day NTP manually sets the time on out Linux Box with some close by
time servers:
sleep 10
/usr/sbin/ntpdate -b -u -t4 129.127.28.4 192.189.54.17 130.95.128.2
(The sleep command assumes that the clock has not drifted forward more than
10 seconds)
(Might like to find your own closer servers:
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.htm)
The same server then answers time requests from a NetWare box and a SCO box
on the local net.
>From /etc/ntp.conf:
server 127.127.1.1 prefer # local clock
fudge 127.127.1.1 stratum 1
driftfile /etc/ntp/drift
broadcastdelay 0.008
broadcast 192.168.1.1
Plenty of info at http://www.ntp.org
Hope this helps....
Regards
Jeremy

Subject: Network time server?
Hello group
I was hoping to set up a Linux box to act as a time server. I have looked
into NTP and in.timed.
It seems NTP has to be linked up with ether a radio, time server or GPS to
function and in.timed has to little instruction to be of any use. All I
would like to do is set a server and have other host sync up time with it.
It doesn't need to synchronized with the worlds atomic clock. If any one
knows of a decent time service that I can load up on a linux box please
point me to it.
TIA
Chris N.
