Hi, > I have these two lines in a script that cron runs nightly for root > > netdate tcp <hostname_of_a_timeserver> > clock -u -w clock is inteligent enough to correct systematic errors. The options for this are controled in /etc/adjtime. The clock is adjusted everytime you boot. If you want this more frequently, put an "clock -au" into cron.daily. Of course netdate is the better solution, as long as you have net-access. Greetings Bernd
