Sync'ing time

SM777 · Sep 24, 2001

how do I synchronise the time with a standard time source?

I need to know that the log files entries are accurately timestamped. If I look at the time on the server its about 9 minutes out.

Hi,

Basically you edit /etc/ntp.conf file and add a line like :

server clock.sgi.com
