time sync'ing programin mandrake 8?

[eXtremist]

When I installed Mandrake 8.0 I remember seeing a package used to sync system time with a timeserver, but I can't remember the name...

Does anyone know of such a program? I just want to make sure my clock is on world atomic time.

Could be ntp or xntp.

I use netdate that came with Slackware 8. Mandrake probably has it. The command I use as root is:

netdate 129.6.15.28 129.6.15.29

Go here for the time servers that are closest to you:
http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/service/time-servers.html

It is better to use the IP# instead of the server name when using netdate. HTH

unfortunately, mandrake doesn't come with either of those programs.. :(
