I install 'ntp'. # apt-get install ntp The default configuration will use the a debian alias pool of Internet time servers. In a typical environment it will "just work" and nothing more is needed. Do not try to install 'ntpdate' as it is not needed when the 'ntp' package is installed. Just install ntp and not ntpdate. Also do not use rdate as it steps the clock. That is only reasonable at boot time. Use ntp and not rdate. Bob
