ntp synaptic
My system rebooted yesterday. I had a 3 hour power outage due to a tree falling on the power lines down the street. After I got a few emails, telling me my date was wrong, I noticed that it said it was tomorrow already. I tried to change it, but when I selected Adjust date time from the systray, clicked OK. It brought up a window for my admin password, saying time-admin needed system priveleges. When I put in the password, the screen just disappeared. So I thought I'd look up ntp packages in Synaptic. I went to System-administration-Synaptic package manager clicked on it. Again, the screen blinked disappeared. From a # terminal prompt I can run synaptic it brings up the package manager. It seems something may be wrong with my system, but I'm not sure what. As far as the time being wrong, what is the Normal ntp package that gets installed, or could be installed? I have a package installed, ntpdate, but it doesn't look like it has a daemon. I tried ntpd openntpd but when I run them ( /etc/init.d/ntpd start) they fail, with no log entries anywhere. suggestions? -- Paul Cartwright -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: ntp synaptic
The ntp package is the one that contains the daemon. ntpdate is the app for brute force adjustments.

Is synaptic gives you problems, try aptitude -- the ui may not be as cute, but it's definitely usable. About ntp: 1) unless you *explicitly* order otherwise, it's meant for *small* clock adjustments, up to a few seconds every day; so you must either force ntp tp accept a big correction, or manually set the time with a decent accuracy and then let ntp sync exactly 2) I may be rong about this, but I'm at least 70% sure that no ntp package is installed by default, save maybe ntpdate; if nothing else is installed, you can install any ntp client you choose -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
