I have just installed TCP/IP on a SCO ODT system and on SCO Unix. I understand that you can run some type of daemon on both machines (one machine being the master and the other being the slave) and have the time on the slave updated, is that correct. Could anyonne tell me the syntax on how to do that on both machines? Thanks very much. Please email me your response unless others would have the same question. Steve -- Steven E.

You can use the "timed" daemon to synchronize time between systems. There is a man page for timed on SCO ODT. If you need something more robust (and standard), you can use Network Time Protocol and a radio clock (WWV, WWVB, or GPS). We are in the process of porting xntpd to SCO Unix - it is a non-trivial task, as we are discovering. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John K.
