WilliamS Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Is there an easy way to synce the clock to a timeserver/atomic clock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmack Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 More than you ever wanted to know about time setting: file:/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/TimePrecision/ntp.html IF you installed documents when installing Mandrake you can access it thru K--Documentation-- How To's ! :) If you did not install the docs, they are on the cd's and you can install them or read them from the cd. You can setup a time daemon to run at boot if you want to do so. Use MCC or the command line sequence in the above article. It is a bit trickier on a dual boot system since Windows will reset the clock for you in some cases. The How To describes this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted July 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 In documentation there is a picture of "server configuration" on the list in mcc just below "software". There is no such thing on my mcc, so no time wizard accessable. Maybe because I have the standard (two disk) edition of 9.1? Or because I've never configured a server and don't know what its all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 You can install drakwizard that gives you those options in MCC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamS Posted July 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 And the file file:/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/TimePrecision/ntp.html does not exist on my machine. I've found interesting prog.s, like gettimeofday.2.bz2 and settimeofday.2.bz2 but am reluctant to try them, already broke too many things trying to use rdate.

WilliamS Posted July 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 OK I've installed drakwizard and could now set time of my server. Another step on the learning curve. :?: I'm betting the server in question is not my ISP. We need an icon for scratching the head :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmack Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Good you are making progress! Selamat! (congratulations!) Until you get documentation installed, you can see the Gnu Linux HOW TO files on Time Precision at: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/TimePrecision-HO...OWTO/index.html That site has lots of helpful info, though some is outdated and it is not Mandrake specific either. Just drop to the homepage www.tldp.org and browse a bit. I don't have access to my cd's right now, but check in the Configuration--Packaging--Install Software section and see if you can install the documentation files. Hope they are not on CD 3. (try to get this if you can) I think they are under workstation in a Documentation folder. That will help you find info like this as well as some configuration tips, etc. Happy computing!
