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
