The time server needs to know how to synch it's clock. A minimum config uses one server directive. A more complete server would choose two or more. Your ISP probably has a couple time servers you can "chime" to. If not you might select a couple stratum 2 servers from the list at http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2.htm -Chris Fedde It seems to me that with such simple or simply-functioned commands that command line flags ought to suffice. The minimum config of listing a server ought to be similar to the ntpdate command line's usage :( -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
