RE: Utilities for keeping time sync for a machine behind a firewall ?



I added the following command to my root crontab (type: crontab -e):

1  0   * * *   /usr/sbin/rdate ntp2.usno.navy.mil >> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1

This updates the local clock once a day which is more than is probably
needed ...

Take out the ">> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1" and root will get a mail message when
the task executes.  If you don't want this daily verification put this back
in.

I am behind a firewall.
What utilities are there that will let me keep the time synchronized with
another machine on the Internet ?
