With 3 telling it the same thing, it doesn't get arrogant. : ) >>example /etc/rc.conf settings: >>ntpdate_enable="YES" >>ntpdate_flags="-g -q -N high" >>ntpdate_program="/usr/sbin/ntpd" > > Okay, so I added these to rc.conf, and did: > > (38) /etc/rc.d/ntpdate start > Setting date via ntp. > usage: /usr/sbin/ntpd [ -abdgmnqx ] [ -c config_file ] [ -e > e_delay ] > [ -f freq_file ] [ -k key_file ] [ -l log_file ] > [ -p pid_file ] [ -r broad_delay ] [ -s statdir ] > [ -t trust_key ] [ -v sys_var ] [ -V > default_sysvar ] > > There is no -N supported.

I primarily play with 4.x, and used my 386 as a refrence typing up those examples. My bad. : ) Looks like you worked around my mistakes cleanly enough though. Lets see how it turns out with some run time. Joshua Coombshome | help
