I havn't seen anything in the manuals. Adjtime is used to correct the time and allowing synchronization of systems clocks in a network by speeding up or slowing down the system's clock. What I want is a way to install ntp (Network Time Protocol) or timed in our HP s300 and s800 machines. We have a network with several machines from different vendors, using NFS to share resources. The problem is clock skewness between the systems. HP must have thought of synchronizing clocks in a network, and not just in a cluster. How does the system synchronize clocks between server and clients in a cluster, anyway? Perhaps one can use that concept? -- Hans Berggren Swedish Institute of Microelectronics, IM PO Box 1184, S-164 21 KISTA, SWEDEN Tel: +46 8 752 11 44 Telex: 128 75 INMIC S Fax: +46 8 750 54 30 UUCP: {uunet,mcvax,munnari,ukc,unido}!sunic!inmic.se!hans Internet: hans@inmic.se
