Any explanation of how time affects dns would be > appreciated! Try using ntp to set the time. I assume that xntpd comes with BSDI; it will set your time by slowly retarding the system clock's progress, which should get you to the proper time (although it will take a while) as well as not disrupt the operation of any servers, including named. xntp comes with very good, if copious, documentation. Good luck. -- Todd Graham Lewis Linux! Core Engineering MindSpring Enterprises tlewis@mindspring.com (800) 719 4664, x2804
