Date: Fri, 17 Oct 1997 11:59:18 -0400 From: Brian McGovern Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've been ripping my hair out for a couple of days about this, and none of my handy books have a good reference to this, so... I have a firewall system that has been running ntpdate to a known good clock source. What I'd now like to do is change it so that the local time is set to this clock source, but also re-serve this time to the machines behind the firewall. In my /etc/ntp.conf file, I started with: server foo.bar.com prefer This, however, didn't seem to do much to the local clock. Additionally, every addition I made about the hosts inside did even less. So, does anyone have a good reference source, or a set of sample files that I could steal to do this? Thanks. -Brian
