I have a laptop, so it doesn't make sense to run a time-keeping daemon, does it? I used to just su to root and run ntpdate every once in a while, with the name of one of the servers on the list. Now I keep getting the 'no suitable server for syncronization found' or something similar. Has the behavior of ntpdate changed without me realizing it? I didn't want to go through the trouble of lots of config files since my system is not up all the time, and this method had always worked before. jcm -- "That depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is." -President Bill Clinton "I don't know what you mean by the word 'ask.'" -CEO Bill Gates To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
