Here is an example: That's exactly how ntpd works. ntpdate sets the time 'instantly' ntpd tries to compress your clock 's running faster/slower than 1s/s. So you should start ntpd _after_ setting the correct time via ntpdate in your init.d-scripts. On my 2.2r0 potato machine (w/ some potato-security updates) there are two scripts /etc/init.d/ntpdate /etc/init.d/ntp and symlinks like this: /etc/rc2.d/K22ntpdate -> ../init.d/ntpdate /etc/rc2.d/K23ntp -> ../init.d/ntp so time get's set and _after_ this the clockspeed-correction is done by ntpd -- Best regards Peter
