#4 Re: Keeping your clock current, automatically. Posted by Anonymous (69.207.xx.xx) on Wed 31 Aug 2005 at 12:57 I don't get it. Why not just use the ntp package? It's accurate and runs as a daemon, making small adjustments to keep your clock synced with the ntp servers you specify. ntpdate is just supposed to be for boxes that are frequently rebooted as it is intended to be run on startup not as a cron job. If you don't want the configuration complexity, and don't mind sacrificing a few microseconds of accuracy, there is also OpenBSD's Openntp package. It's in the stable tree now.
