Clock on this server is slow...

<< < (3/4) > >>

voidmain:
You must have a slow metabolism.

voidmain:
# date -s "HH:MM:SS"
# /sbin/hwclock --systohc

The second command syncs the hardware clock with the OS clock.

And of course you can sync with the atomic clock at the naval observatory (and many other sites) using "xntpd". It will keep your system in sync.

what if any is the difference between ntp and xntp?
and where can i find a list of the servers that i can connect to. I have found two setup pages and each lists a different set of server (for different places of course). Is there a master list of time servers somewhere?

The difference between xntpd and ntpd is the 'x'.  For the longest time it was called "xntpd" (eXperimental) and now for v4 they dropped the 'x' because of hounding.  I guess I should have used the more up to date name "ntpd", habit. See:
