Re: [PLUG] Time & date sync'ing between systems


Does rdate also adjust the system clock to compensate for drift? ntpd, and chrony I believe, not only sync clocks, but they also make the clock more accurate.

Whoa!  I wanted to do this for months (my Linux server clock drifts) but
did not know how.  The ntp documentation was completly confusing and did
not do what I wanted.

I grabbed the rdate rpm, installed it on my systems, set the cron and
viola' - it works.  Nice.  Very nice.

Thanks.

I use

rdate time-b.nist.gov

to sync the time to the government's time server and then I can sync the other systems on the network also using rdate.
