I don't know that apm is required in either case - I only use it for GMT support. use ntpdate for clients - run at boot and cron job it for every hour/minute - this is sure to keep your clock reasonably accurate. ntpdate/ntpd is not really supposed to run with adjtime - but your adjtime file is wrong. You can't have all zeros in it unless you have a perfect clock. adjtimex is intended for use on computers who have limited or no access to an ntp server. Because of that there is a slew rate that you are supposed to have in the adjtime file. Your slew rate is zero, meaning your clock is perfect. I would suggest reading up on the Clock MINI-HOWTO. It's a good read for explaining about adjtimex, ntpdate, ntpd. It will also tell you about all the ntp servers you can use with ntpdate. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
