Re: [expert] ntpdate use

[Jason Greenwood]

Yes, I had the same problem. I use Mandrake so under Mandrake Control Center>System>Services, I just stopped the process (ntpd) and then ran ntpdate.

Worked like a charm.

your ntp daemon is already running. try:
/etc/init.d/(x)ntpd stop

or: pkill *ntp

but at all, why not use xntpd? its easy to configure, in /etc 
u'll find the file ntpd.conf and there u just have to put
the line:

server address.org

where 'address.org' is the name of your server. than do:

/etc/init.d/(x)ntpd restart

and have phun;)
