Enable ntpdate and its command line arguments in /etc/rc.conf. ntpdate_enable="YES" # Run the ntpdate to sync time (or NO). ntpdate_flags="-s XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" # Flags to ntpdate (if enabled). where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the IP address of a stratum time server. Does BIOS report the correct time after a reboot? Do you have your time zone set properly? -- Regards, Norman C. Rice, Jr.
