NTP time server

[jaredgalen]

I have a piece of code that is supposed to get the time off a unix host acting as an ntp time server, the problem is that the computer I'm running it on has no access to the internet so I can't use any of the public ones.

Would anyone have a piece of code that would mimic this time server that I can run locally, or even give me a few pointers as to how I would write my own app.

I'm a newbie to C so any help is appreciated

Okay, maybe I should be more precise. I'll be using two machines, a windows on the same network as the unix one.

I need to set up the unix machine so that it will accept and respond to the time request, it needs to have the NTP protocol enabled, I think.

An ideas?????

Well on the unix machine, you simply enable the 'ntpd' (Network Time Protocol Daemon).

In Redhat 8 (which I have here), I run Server Settings->Services and tick the NTPD checkbox and the jobs done.
