Cooler still is to install and run xntp. It will figure out for itself how often to check the time (you can configure it to consult multiple time servers) and also keep track of how badly your system clock tends to drift and do periodic mini adjustments to the clock. And you can synchronize the other machines on your network to the one timekeeper machine, which is politer to the people running the network servers. jpb -- Joe Block <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CREOL System Administrator Social graces are the packet headers of everyday life.
