RE: How to start NTPD?
run this, apt-get update ; apt-get -y dist-upgrade
and hold on to your hat while the box patches itself (assuming you have a WAN connection in place and sources.list is correct)
;]
afterwards,
apt-get install ntp
Should either install ntp or say the latest is installed.
For a client you run crontab -e to add a similar line that I supplied, you then do a :wq to exit and the cron job will run at the time specified.
If ntpq says "connection refused" then it doesnt look like ntp is running.

Hi Steven,
I just took out this Debian box for testing. It has
not been used for more than a year. I believe I have
ntp installed and running on this box, IIRC.

Kindly advise how to fix it. TIA
