Hi Chuck,

	I'm using 'rdate'  in the script that starts my pppoe connection (DSL). My system loses time bad when shutdown, but keeps time fairly accuragtely while running, so I just run 'rdate' each time I re-establish my pppoe connection. Some people use other programs (like chrony and John Covici has one I can't remember the name) and run them periodically from chrond. I guess it depends on your needs/situation.

	There is a version of rdate in the "goodies' directory on bumpy. I'm using the Debian packaged rdate from the Debian website.

HTH,

	--TERRY
