Hi!

Last night I thought it would be a nice idea to fetch the
exact time from some internet time server.
As far as I can see, I have ntpdate enabled in rc.conf and
I have produced some kind of /etc/ntp.conf but doing
# ntpdate I keep receiving messages like this:

18 Nov 10:39:42 ntpdate[56133]: no servers can be used,
exiting

In Google I found some confusing pages about time servers
being down because of security risks.

So my question is:
Does this work at all and if yes
  which lines should be put into my rc.conf and my ntp.conf?

Thanx for your answers.

Uli.
