Doh myself ... seems I have an outdated netdate package installed -- it really disappeared from potato. Beneath ntpdate which someone recommended, there is also a rdate package (this one *is* there): $ apt-cache show rdate Package: rdate Version: 1.3-2 Priority: optional Section: net Maintainer: Herbert Xu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1) Replaces: netstd Architecture: i386 Filename: dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/net/rdate_1.3-2.deb Size: 6158 MD5sum: 467e669bbfc16c87d6ca16d9d84d43da Description: Set the system's date from a remote host. Rdate displays and sets the local date and time from the host name or address given as the argument. It uses the RFC868 protocol which is usually implemented as a built-in service of inetd(1). installed-size: 64 Greetings, joachim
