I'm working on an iBook and use it mostly as my desktop PC. So I removed my battery. Now for me is every day the 1.1.1970. Just like the movie "Groundhog Day". ntp-package is already installed. I configured the ntp.conf. Here is a short section: ........................................... #....... modifications are in use and declare an unsynchronized condition. # server 127.127.1.0 # local clock fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 server ntp0.fau.de prefer server ntps1-0.cs.tu-berlin.de server 131.188.3.222 broadcastclient # # Drift file. Put this in a directory which the daemon can write to. # No symbolic links allowed, either, since the daemon updates the file # by creating a temporary in the same directory and then rename()'ing # it to the file. # driftfile /etc/ntp/drift #multicastclient # listen on default 224.0.1.1 broadcastdelay 0.008 # # Authentication delay. If you use, or plan to use someday, the # authentication facility you should make the programs in the auth_stuff # directory and figure out what this number should be on your machine. # authenticate no # # Keys file. If you want to diddle your server at run time, make a # keys file (mode 600 for sure) and define the key number to be # used for making requests. # PLEASE DO NOT USE THE DEFAULT VALUES HERE. Pick your own, or remote # systems might be able to reset your clock at will. # #keys /etc/ntp/keys #trustedkey 65535 #requestkey 65535 #controlkey 65535 #restrict default ignore ........................................... With OSX as OS it is possible to sync time over internet and with YDL 3.0 it is possible too. Is there no way to configure ntp with MandrakeControlCenter? Best Andreas
