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. ************************************ * P. U.
