Hello all,
I am new to FreeBSD and tried the ntpdate command for the
first time a few minutes ago. Well either I don't know of
any servers or I am not using it right, even though I read
the man page 3 times. Here is what I get :
ntpdate -d ftp.cdrom.com
18 Aug 02:47:10 ntpdate: ntpdate version=3.4e (beta multicast); Fri Jun 9 03:19:04 1995 (1)

--------------------------------------------------
I have tried at least 10 different machines that Linux "netdate" works
just fine with but ntpdate doesn't. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
