However, "rdate -s time.mit.edu" or other rdate server works very well and doesn't have the problems with not being able to run "ntpdate" while the ntpd is running. _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
