Hmm man timed??
it seems to give a great load of info,
To sync one machine from an NTP server, run ntp against an ntp server,
then use timed -F <ownname> to set the machine to only trust itself, and
then run timed on all the rest of the hosts and they will slave from the
master one,
Seems well explained in the man pages to me... of course if it works well
that is a whole different story as I've never used it (never saw it before
this question was asked :-) ... we use rdate in a cron job from our main
sparc server, and it does it against ntp.tcd.ie or something like that ..
Dave.
