Message-ID: <stanbE1tEtC.1EE@netcom.com> Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 261-4700 guest) X-Newsreader: NN version 6.5.0 #3 (NOV) Date: Tue, 3 Dec 1996 01:58:24 GMT Lines: 17 Sender: stanb@netcom6.netcom.com How is the best way to do this? In Debain Linux there is a utilty /usr/sbin/netdate. I takes one or more servers as arguments, determines what the "Best" time is and sets the system kernel time. If there is sonething like this already done, I would like to know about it. If not I will take a crak at poritng this to FreeBSD. As always, if there is a betterway to do this I would like to here aout it. -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95.
