It seems I'm the only person in the world without netdate or ntpdate.
Any other commands I can use. I'm amazed that redhat 9, full
installation, doesn't have either of those two commands availible.
Take care,
Sina

Hi. the timeserver I've been using is time-nw.nist.gov. I have cron
run this once an hour by putting a sscript like this in my
/etc/cron.hourly directory:
#!/bin/bash
ntpdate -b time-nw.nist.gov
this tells ntpdate to get the current time from time-nw.nist.gov. I'm
not sure if readhat has a cron.hourly directory but if it doesn't just
add the above command to your crontab with crontab -e. read the
manpage for crontab for more info on the syntax.
