What version are you running; ntpd is the current program. If you set up a drift file ntpd will keep the clock fairly close. If you have lots(more than 1??) sunc one of your hosts to a public time-server and sync the rest of you network to that host. www.ntp.org and the FAQ is a good place to start. There is more info on time keeping than you will ever want to read; and far more than I could digest :) On Tue, 8 Jan 2002, Noah Dunker wrote: > I think xntpd only checks a few times a day, but I'm not sure. > > ntpdate(8) is the command you would use to re-sync your own system time back > to normal on-demand.
