[NTLUG:Discuss] NTP

[Michael Patrick]

I am running the ntp client piece (not running the ntpd server).  Following command seems to work, from behind a NAT machine.

[root at www michael]# ntptimeset -v -V 1 -S 2 -s
10 Jul 18:05:01 ntptimeset[27654]: ntpdate 4.0.99k Thu Apr  5 14:21:52 EDT 2001 (1)
192.5.41.41     10/1 000 v4 s1 offset  0.000000 delay 0.00000 disp 64.0000
192.5.41.40     6/6 077 v4 s1 offset -0.003336 delay 0.11784 disp 1.5007
Time set to Jul 10 18:05:17 2001 [192.5.41.40 -0.0033364 16/15]
