Its chrony

I have just switched off ntp and switched on chrony.  Not sure this is the 
correct thing to do but

1) NTP does not cope with the ip address of your machine changing whilst its 
running (I have a 24/7 server which lost sync when my ip address changed).  I 
have yet to find out whether chrony does this or not

2) When looking at the working set size whilst running the two I noticed that 
chrony was smaller.

I use the package chrony
It sets up a system for checking your clock against time standard on the web
and adjusting the rate of your clock automatically so that it keeps in sync
with NIST standard time.

apt-get install ntpdate.

Next, yo'll be able to set the ntp server to set your time/date.

In Spain, I use ntp.unizar.es .

G'day Dave,
I'm a newbie at linux but you should be able to sync with an ntp (time)
server, the debian docs or a google search should tell you how.
