There is ntpdate, intended for gross corrections at boot time, and ntp, which finetunes things if you need microsecond accuracy all day long. I don't, so I just run ntpdate at boot time and 4x a day with cron against 4 servers chosen at random from a list of 33, using a script and a list of servers someone posted years ago now. Both are installed in a normal full install, but not this script. ntp as I understand it needs configured before its used, but it can be run from /etc/init.d by turning it on with chkconfig once its configured. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
