Pretty much just need two files; /etc/ntp.conf and /etc/ntp.drift. ntp.conf lists the driftfile and the upstream time source. example ntp.conf server some.ntpserver.com driftfile /etc/ntp.drift Your local ISP should have an ntp server that you can get the correct time from. Otherwise there is a list of public stratum 2 ntp servers available at: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2a.html Might want to use ntpdate to get your time synched up before running ntpd. And of course you'll want to read the manpages. :) greg
