But fortunately clock-setup failed > after the usual timeout. rdate actually try numerous times for each servers listed for the given hostname. clock-setup progress bar is reset to 0 each time a new server is tried. This was a compromise while improving progress and cancelation support in clock-setup, as there is no easy way to know how many servers will be tried by rdate. But maybe this behaviour is too weird when the NTP replies are wrong themselves… Cheers, -- Jérémy Bobbio .''`. lunar@debian.org : :Ⓐ : # apt-get install anarchism `. `'` `-
