You should be able to get away with something as simple as: # redhat-config-time # chkconfig ntpd on # service ntpd start You'll need to make sure that you're actually synchronizing with: # /usr/sbin/ntpq -pn If your workstations are synchronizing to you, you need to make sure that they're using ntp or turn on the simpler time services that some clock sync apps use: # chkconfig time on # chkconfig daytime on Both have udp variants (time-udp and daytime-udp) that you may need. To verify that these are running do: # telnet localhost daytime If you've got a firewall, you'll also need to make sure that these ports make it through. -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
