 Just noticed that in the xntpd startup script, it has:

case "$1" in
  start)
    # Adjust time to make life easy for xntpd
    if [ -f /etc/ntp/step-tickers ]; then
        echo -n "Syncing time for xntpd. "
        /usr/sbin/ntpdate -s -b -p 8 -u `cat /etc/ntp/step-tickers`
    fi
        # Start daemons.
        echo -n "Starting xntpd: "
        daemon xntpd -A
    RETVAL=$?
        echo
        [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/xntpd
        ;;

 Any idea what I have to put into step-tickers to get it to work ? I
*think* it's just an NTP server but...
