I think xntpd only checks a few times a day, but I'm not sure. ntpdate(8) is the command you would use to re-sync your own system time back to normal on-demand. On my machines I usually run this at startup as well as a daemon to sync up every so often. It gets the time and date from my firewall, which is running both a time server and client, and updates from the time server from a local university. -----Original Message----- From: vijay To: questions Sent: 1/8/02 2:06 PM Subject: ntp and date command hello - what is the expected result when time is set backwards my more than 1000s using the date command while xntpd is running in the system? xntpd seems to be sleeping select I<s ?? 0:00.08 /bin/xntpd does a time reset like this have an effect of the select system call? kindly cc me as i am not on the list. br, vijay To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
