How I can > avoid it? I think you misunderstand how xntpd works. It's designed to stay in continuous synchronization with a trusted time source, not to synchronize once every X hours. Someone else already mentioned to you that ntpdate won't run because xntpd is bound to that port. What you need to do is find a couple of publicly available time servers in your area for your primary xntpd server to synch to, then your local network can synch to your local xntpd server. Take a look at http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ for a list of public time servers and more information you will want to know. :) Good luck, Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** *** Proud operator, designer and maintainer of the world's largest *** Internet Relay Chat server. 5,328 clients and still growing. *** Try spider.dal.net on ports 6662-4 (Powered by FreeBSD) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
