Hi List I have ntp running as a service on a PC, with the expectation that it would keep time in synch to my ntp server. However, while I can manually update the time using "ntpdate -u ...", I find that if I manually force the wrong time, the ntpd service does not automatically re-synch the system time with the ntp server: - Current time: [admin at lol ~]# date Wed Jan 27 10:54:21

...staircase' setting it absolutely. IMHO, ntpdate -u should be run before starting ntpd so the clock is close to spot on up front, I have sometimes added this to the /etc/init.d/ntp scripts. with systemd, this woudl be trickier to implement, maybe a seperate 'service' thats runs the ntpddate -u and exits, which the ntpd service depends on being run first? I dunno, I haven't really spent the time to grok systemd thoroughly yet. -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz
