It may be that my old habits die hard, but I still use a perl script to sync time on my *nix machines:
ftp://mirror.hiwaay.net/CPAN/authors/id/A/AO/AOCINAR/nist-2.1.13.tar.gz it's simple, and you can run it from cron and update your clock whenever you feel like it. Just remember to edit the timeserver and timediff you want to use... -Kenneth On Wed, 12 Jan 2005 00:27:24 -0700, nowhere <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi! > > My mythbox's clock is drifting and it seems that ntp is not updating the > clock.
