Hi,

All you need to do is to go to the "time and date" settings in the "control-panel", or right-click on the "date/time" in the task-bar. Which ever way you do it you should be able to set your desktop clock to sync from a time-server.

I assume that Suse has NTP up and running?


Please let me know if you need more info.

Andrew.

Also type "net help time" in a command prompt window. To set the SNTP server, use "net time /setsntp:xx.yy.zz.aa". The server list may be addresses or names, separated by spaces, and quoted if more than one is provided.

(Does anyone know if the Win2k DHCP client sets this from the DHCP NTP server list option?)

Hi,

run from the command line

ntpdate -u ntp.server.tld

This will sync the time with ntp.server.tld .

I'v setup a cron job that sync every 30minutes with time.nrc.ca, the Canadian research center.

Thanks,
JP
