I think you can either run ntp-client to set the time at startup, or ntpd -q. Both are run through ntp-client, but you can set it so that it uses ntpd to set the time. This is done by modifying /etc/conf.d/ntp-client. Mine looks like this, so you can see I'm actually using ntpd -q as ntp-client: # /etc/conf.d/ntp-client # Command to run to set the clock initially # Most people should just leave this line alone ... # however, if you know what you're doing, and you # want to use ntpd to set the clock, change this to 'ntpd' NTPCLIENT_CMD="ntpd" # Options to pass to the above command # This default setting should work fine but you should # change the default 'pool.ntp.org' to something closer # to your machine. See http://www.pool.ntp.org/ or # try running `netselect -s 3 pool.ntp.org`. #NTPCLIENT_OPTS="-s -b -u \ # 0.gentoo.pool.ntp.org 1.gentoo.pool.ntp.org \ # 2.gentoo.pool.ntp.org 3.gentoo.pool.ntp.org" NTPCLIENT_OPTS="-q" Paul
