I want to make sure that the clock is set at every boot because I'm using this as a kerberos server. If the clock is not set properly at boot, kerberos will not work properly until the nightly cron jobs are run and the clock is set then. I need everything working at boot. I can't have a window of problems between boot and midnight or whenever cron runs ntpdate. Rob
