To get my system on time, I usually issue these two commands:

# ntpdate de.pool.ntp.org
# hwclock -w

And when I want this to be done on startup, I put the two lines in rc.local.

I wonder if this is an orthodox way to do things. Or is there something more appropriate?


chkconfig ntpd on

will cause ntpd to sync and start the ntp daemon every boot.

service ntpd start
will start the daemon right now.

Hmmm. This is strange. When I use the method you described, the command 'date' returns 17:34. But when I stop the ntpd service and run 'ntpdate' manually as I described, it's 16:34 (which is right, and btw, I live in South France).

I'm confused.
