And the machine doesn't shut down very much at all, but running every 64 - 1024 seconds seems obsurd.

If you boot your machine often, you may want to use ntpdate. It synces on startup only. ntpdate_enable="YES" ntpdate_flags="-b -t10 -u ntp1.example.com ntp2.example.com" If your machine stays up for extended periods of time, you would prefer ntpd, which synces every 64 - 1024 seconds. xntpd_enable="YES" xntpd_flags="-g -p /var/run/ntpd.pid" /etc/ntp.conf: server ntp1.example.com server ntp2.example.com server ntp3.example.com -- FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE 9:57AM up 5 days, 21:52, 17 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
