If you traceroute to some site, and try the routers along the path (ntpq -p <therouter>), you'll find one that has ntp running. Chosing a ntp server close to your computer will usually result in better time synchronisation than chosing a 'good' timeserver far away. - network connection only occasionally? set up ntpdate to be run in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d or similar. cheers -- vbi -- secure email with gpg http://fortytwo.ch/gpg NOTICE: subkey signature! request key 92082481 from keyserver.kjsl.com
