Wow - close to 30 responses! Thanks folks 1. Run ntpdate to set the date correctly, and start xntpd running on the server to handle minor drift. ntp by itself won't handle a 25 minute differential. 2. Dave Harrington also pointed to a useful article regarding this very topic: Read Sandra Henry-Stocker's Notes: http://www.itworld.com/Comp/3380/nls_unixntpcommands041014/ She's a great reference for practical information. This just happened to be her latest column. Dave Harrington 3. The biggest caveat is to ensure that the applications you have running on your server (e.g. databases such as Oracle) are not impacted adversely by time stamps jumping backward in time all of a sudden. 4. A reboot is not necessary Thanks once again Scotty ============================= Original message Howdy I just checked one of our V880 servers and noticed it is a whole 25 MINUTES fast. needless to say, I didnt have ntpd installed. Would NTPD correct such a huge difference upon activation or should the system be rebooted and the system clock reset first? Thanks Scotty _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Oct 18 15:52:37 2004
