Hey you brought up a very good point.  But can you confirm something for me?

I have had ntpd and ntpdate install for awhile.  Only using ntpd.
Recently (last night) I decided to read up on ntpdate.

Correct me if I'm wrong.  ntp allows receiving (setting host computer
time/date) and broadcasting (a lot of options) of date/time to
internal (or external) lan.

ntpdate ONLY acts as a client.  Setting the (host) with the correct
date/time.

Yes I did cheat and read the description in apt-cache.  And I did read
*some* of ntp-doc.


Thanks,

Mark
