I do apologise for the problems with my clock. I never realised that it was 2 days behind. I can't get ntpd from Fedora, and tried dag's site as well. I'm getting time updates using npt on the Smoothwall firewall, and have asked at the smoothwall forum if there's a way to synch my client machines to the firewalls RTC. The time (I hope) is right at the moment. If there is no way to synch to the firewalls RTC, I will have to install ntp, at least on the Gateway machine. The other one seems to be keeping time ok. Poor o'l Gateway's probably reaching EOL. The cd writer has recently thrown in the towel, and now the floppy drive works when it feels like it. Nigel.
