If your computer is only on the net sporadically, it might be better to forgo NTP and just call ntpdate after the connection is made (there are post PPP scripts for running things after the connection is up). But if your computer does stay on-line most of the time, then you might do the same thing (a post PPP up script) with restarting NTP instead of just a once-off NTP clock and date setting. I used to do the latter, when I was on dial-up, though I don't recall the name of the script I used. If you examine the scripts called when going on-line, you can see what other scripts they look for. There'll be something for this, as a default file (it'll run it if it exists, and not care if it doesn't), it saves you from modifying standard files that might get unmodified during an update. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
