Clearly the problem is that | 216.244.192.3 did not respond with an answer. Is your network actually | up? Is 216.244.192.3 reachable? Is port 123 blocked in your firewall? Network is up. can ping 216.244.193.3. No firewall. All ports are open. | Scrolling up thru this thread I see where Shantanu says he tried ntpdate | in single user mode. Duh. Networking isn't brought up until the system | goes multi. No network, no network time. Altho being up to process 717 | in single user is unusual. I tried the following command in single mode # date;sleep 1;date | | As for the output of sleep(1), his date(1) is rounded down to 1 second | in display so if the first date is at 16.9 seconds and a 1 second sleep | later might very well be at 18.0 and appear to be 2 seconds later. | | Sleep is only an approximate in any case. I remember documentation on | other Unix systems stating a "sleep 1" might return immediately. So it | was common to use a "sleep 2" if you wanted to hope for at least a 1 | second delay. for sleep 1, I am getting 2 sec delay. | | -- | David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net | ===================================================================== | The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its | capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system. | | ------------------------------ Regards, Shantanu -- An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it.
