This is not quite what what was asked for but it provides similar functionality and with less network traffic. There is an init for the mac called "tardis" which queries a "timelord" over appletalk to get the correct time. This happens each restart or manually from the choser. The timelord server can be either another mac or a UNIX host, I used a UNIX host running NTP as a timeserver. tardis and timelord was written by David Hornsby at Melbourne University. the whole lot can be FTP'd from munnari.OZ.AU 128.250.1.21 in the directory multigate regards Gilbert ---- Gilbert Taylor-Wood gtw@extro.ucc.su.OZ.AU Faculty of Arts Programmer The University of Sydney NSW 2006 Ph (02) 692 4713 -- ---- Gilbert Taylor-Wood gtw@extro.ucc.su.OZ.AU Faculty of Arts Programmer The University of Sydney

I am working on a cdev that I will (in 2-3 days) call 'alpha-test' quality. It only implements UDP Time, not the official NTP. The math was too deep for me, so I just do a UDP Time request with a user controlablle time-out. It will also handle daylight savings time (partially implemented now) and will operate in the background at specified intervals if you really want (not yet implemented). Otherwise it sets it at startup or when you tell it to in the cdev. Write if you want it. pr -- Pete Resnick (...so what is a mojo, and why would one be rising?)
