I've been messing with this for a couple days and have read the man
pages for xntpd, ntpdate, timed, etc. to no avail.
Here's what I want to do...
I have a 486/66 running FreeBSD 2.2.8 acting as an Internet gateway for
my home network.
The Internet connection is "dial-on-demand" thru a 56K modem.
I want to know the "best" method to use to sync my 486 box via the
Internet, and I want it to act as a time server to my local machines.
I have been using ntpdate manually on occasion to sync time from
otc1.psu.edu. But I don't know how to make the box a time server for
my local net. I've tried xntpd, but then it takes the port and
prevents ntpdate from running. And I still couldn't get it to serve
time to a local FreeBSD box running 3.2.
This is just a home network and time isn't critical, but I want to sync
time from the Net, maybe once a day or once a week, but serve time to
local machines any time they request it.
help...
cc me please, I unsubscribed from the list due to heavy traffic.
