Also, many ISPs run an NTP server and it's either poorly (or purposely not) advertised. Check ntp. to see if it'll peer with you, since it'll probably be about as close as you can get network wise. Heck, they don't advertise it (AFAICT) but the first upstream IP from my cable modem has an ntpd listening and you definitely can't get any closer than that. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. bss03@volumehost.com ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
