On 2002-08-14, MET scribbled: # How would I make my BSD machine get its time from something like a # public time server so that reports the correct time? You can use the ntpdate utility to query and set the system's date. You can set it to sync your clock upon startup by adding the proper lines to /etc/rc.conf (check the man page rc.conf(5) for the proper options) or add it to a crontab. You must be root to set the system's clock. -- Linh Pham lplist@closedsrc.org Webmaster and FreeBSD Geek http://closedsrc.org closedsrc.org Every solution breeds new problems To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
