Each computer has its own on-board clock, with its own power. Ntpd is only a way to set this clock to some reference clock's time. > that my Reliance CDMA phone sets its clock on the time from the tower. > When there is no signal in an area and I start the mobile, it show me > 2355 at any time of the day, till it gets a signal tower. Who knows? Perhaps a Reliance quirk. I don't think the mobile operators are very particular about serving accurate time to phones. I prefer to set my phone's time manually than depend on the operator. Binand -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
