of course; the problem with PCs is that they, unlike, say, sparcs,
can gain few seconds in a day...
I usually put this into /etc/daily.local (this is for old rc style,
adjust to taste):
# /etc/daily.local
# If there is a global system configuration file, suck it in.
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig ]; then
. /etc/sysconfig
fi
if [ "X${ntpdate}" != X"NO" ]; then
echo 'Running ntpdate:'; ntpdate ${ntpdate} #>/dev/null 2>&1
fi
maybe this is a good idea for standard /etc/daily ?? Setting date
by ntpdate only on boot looks like useless idea to me - freebsd boxes
have trend to stay up for months... ;-)
