I use the standard configuration for xntpd, and it just works fine. I just added the "server" lines for the ntp server names (add your ntp servers there) --snip-- # /etc/ntp.conf, configuration for xntpd logfile /var/log/xntpd driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift statsdir /var/log/ntpstats/ statistics loopstats peerstats clockstats filegen loopstats file loopstats type day enable filegen peerstats file peerstats type day enable filegen clockstats file clockstats type day enable server ntp0 server ntp1 server ntp2 server ntp3 --snap-- Alex. -- Alexander Schwartz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/alex_schwartz http://hardwick.ukc.ac.uk/cgi-bin/hpda.exe/:ahus1/index.htm
