In general, one uses ntpdate to fix big time slews (like the 5 hour one mentioned) and then ntp. (There's an ntpd flag to tell it to make huge corrections in one shot, but it *seems* to me--I could be wrong, and too lazy to check right now--that it's considered best practice to use ntpdate once to correct the big time slew, then start ntpd. (For those unfamiliar with it, ntpdate requires a server as argument, e.g., ntpdate mytimeserver) So, your memory is probably correct. :) -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Angel: So, you're back.
