This presumes you would be running both ntpdate and ntpd, whic is the way to go. This is obviously very quick-and-dirty, but I just wanted to introduce it as a possible tactic, especially if you have several time servers you're maintaining... Would something like this be worth putting into the base distribution, maybe? -- Brian 'you Bastard' Reichert reichert@numachi.com 37 Crystal Ave. #303 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1713 USA Intel architecture: the left-hand path To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
