I use chrony on my laptop. It supports online and offline mode, however in sarge it only has up/down scripts in ppp subdirectories (not very good since I usually plug in ethernet). However I'm quite satisfied with it and when needed I run those scripts manually. I was thinking about creating ip-up.d and ip-down.d scripts (very elegant with ifplugd) which will set proper mode, and probably the provided NTP server (from dhcp or ppp config) too. Maybe something alike is in etch already... -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
