Read the man pages for ntpdate(8) and xntpd(8). Enable both in /etc/rc.conf and then set their command line parameters in the same file. Why both? Because xntpd can only adjust your clock in small increments. If your CMOS clock is waaay out, you'll need ntpdate to adjust your time on bootup, and xntpd to keep it in sync thereafter. -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
