A better question is why are you using ntpdate at all? Besides the diagnostics that ntpdate can produce, the only advantage ntpdate has over ntpd is that ntpdate can use an unpriviledged source port and ntpd currently can not. ntpd can perform an unlimited step to set the clock if you start it with '-g'. ntpd can emulate ntpdate and even block the boot sequence if started with '-gq' In tests on my LAN 'ntpd -gq' can set the clock (or start the slew) and exit in ~11 seconds FWIW, ntpdate is deprecated upstream ... -- Steve Kostecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NTP Public Services Project http://support.ntp.org/ Public Key at http://support.ntp.org/Users/SteveKostecke -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
