This is probably not a very elegant solution, but here is what I do: install ntpdate package Place the following into a script that runs when ppp comes up, or make it its own script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/set_time # Let's sync our watches when we go online ntpdate clock.name.com sleep 10s ntpdate clock.name.com -- David Raeker-Jordan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG key: 1024D/CD956608
