I believe chrony not only checks the time with time servers, it also compensates in some way for hardware clock drift. I use it on my boxes. It doesn't seem to talk through IP-masquerading. So I have chrony running on my IP-masquerading box and have the others talk to that one. I no longer have any problems with clock drift. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
