Nowadays, use of ntdate(8) is discouraged. The upstream has been threatening to delete it from the distribution for years. Instead, just give ntpd(8) the flags that allow it to reset the clock by an arbitrary amount on startup. In /etc/rc.conf thats: ntpd_enable="YES" ntpd_sync_on_start="YES" All your Linksys needs for NTP support is to allow UDP to any, port 123. And the response packets, obviously. Cheers, Matthew
