Use the NTP server of your choice. Also, I remember that under 2.0.5 I had to explicitly specify the file /etc/ntp.conf as a command line option, though I haven't checked this with 2.1 Anyone interested on computer timekeeping can find interesting NTP stuff at the URL http://glen-ellyn.rice.iit.edu/~clocks/clocks/ntp/ntp.html. I hope this helps. P.D. Looking at the date of your mail, I realize that you *really* need NTP ;)
