Re: update time
Hello, I am familiar with these commands. A while ago I read a thread that gave a command that automatically updates the time. I thought I recorded it. Thanks.

Re: update time
Same here, they seem to have been replaced with openntpd which does seem to include ntpdate, just ntpd.

Can anyone tell me the command? This is a bit unclear. do you have the command or not ? it should be located in /usr/sbin, so trying it out as user will usually fail. If you find it, try as root : # ntpdate pool.ntp.org This will try to read the time on a server over using UDP with port 123, so that port should be opened outbound in your firewall. if you install the debian package, ntpdate will do this during each boot. So if you are like most people and reboot regularly, your system should stay quite on time. Cheers, Ernest. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
